I understand that this is a really old hotel but it was not clean in the slightest. Thankfully some employees changed the dirty bedding but the rest of the room was terribly dirty as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The suitcase shelf was extremely dusty, so were parts of the bathroom. The tissue box was empty (except for 2 tissues) and not refilled after the first of two nights. The shower was on a hot setting, too hot to have a shower, nobody was able to adjust this to an acceptable temperature. The TV remote control didn't work. One of the bedside table lamps had threads hanging of it and was not working. It was the worst hotel which claims to have a 4 star rating we have ever stayed in. Hotel staff at reception and breakfast didn't make us feel welcome. The room was quite noisy, too, from 6.20am but also during the night.

Nice old building, friendly helpful staff, good leisure facilities. I know it's not easy but it needs some money spent on it cos it's a bit tired. Had to change rooms cos tv not working. Only one chair in each room for two people? Pay £12.50 extra for a cooked breakfast which is not kept very warm and served on stone cold plates. Expected better.
