Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean however there was damage to the wall behind the beds, the staff were welcoming even though the member of staff on reception when i checked tried to get me to pay for my room twice when i had checked in online and authorised payment. One positive was that i could walk to most places, i choose not to have breakfast at the hotel it was expensive at £24 and i found cheaper options elsewhere.
