a mixed experience at this hotel

friendly staffflimsy doorcracked ceilings
the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.
my "classic double room" was not great. the noise from next door was very noticeable because of a flimsy interconnecting door. i also noticed some patchy decoration and badly cracked ceilings.
