I appreciated the plentiful breakfast. There was lots of choice. the staff were very friendly and accommodated my requests. my room was comfortable and nicely decorated. It had good tea and coffee-making facilities.
The carpet leading to the rooms up the stairs was filthy. there were hooks missing from the curtains. A bulb was not working in light over the mirror. the headboard was covered in dust as was the glass ceiling light.
