Average stay with some drawbacks

mildew wardrobeinsufficient water
The room had some issues. I saw mildew in the wardrobe, quite unpleasant. The heating stayed on all day. The staff did not seem to turn it off even when it was warm outside. I also noticed we did not get fresh water every day, a bit of a letdown.

the breakfast was acceptable, with a decent selection of items.
The room was very dated. Cracks looked in the walls and ceilings. blinds were dirty, especially in the bathroom. towels even smelled damp. I'm not sure they had dried quickly enough. it really needs an injection of cash.
