Adequate Stay

friendly stafflovely atmospherelow pressureinsufficient heating
The staff was friendly. The hotel was well-organized I could tell. The food was quite good and a good value. The pub offered great music and a lovely atmosphere.
The heating was not sufficient in my room I noticed. The shower had very low pressure it seemed. I needed more heat and pressure.

The carpets looked really dirty, like they were black. A mattress was even left in the hallway! The pub felt neglected, I felt pretty ripped off actually.

friendly staffold fashioned roompoor cleanliness
the staff was friendly, a positive aspect of the stay.
the room felt really old fashioned, it was not very comfortable at all. cleanliness was lacking, and the summer heat made the room very warm. i think i'll look for another place next time.
