The hotel is becoming a bit run down. Our toilet smelled of rotten drains. Told reception but nothing was done about it. For 3 days there was a plastic container on the stairs so the cleaners didn’t go near there

The staff were mostly friendly. No wash clothes. No extra toilet paper. The front desk is in the restaurant next door so there is no one near by for assistance. No elevator either, so we had to carry luggage up/down stairs.

Staff at check in were nice and friendly. Id travelled a ling way and was tired. Unfortunately my room was on the ground floor beside the front door and it was extremely noisy, banging all night off and on from the door, there didnt seem to be any soft close or spring to quieten its closing. The bed was very comfortable but the room cleanliness was not great, dirty floor lots of marks on walls and dust. Maybe a refurbish is due.
