As soon as we entered the room, we felt that smelly heavy odor of damp. Even the shower head had some black moldy looking areas, as well as the tiles in the bathroom. Sheets and towels were clean but towels felt a bit damp.

We were happy with our stay. For £80 and our family for 1 night as a stopover before France it was fine. The decor isn't modern or flash so don't expect too much and water pressure in the taps was pretty awful in honesty. But the staff at check inn were nice and polite.

Disliked: Amenities
Receptionist/Bar man was amazing, could not fault his service at all. Bed was broken, dipped in the middle and left us both with a sore back the next morning, was meant to be a queen but it was definitely only a double. Shower was broken, attachment to turn off shower was faulty and I ended up very wet trying to switch it to the taps. Shower constantly leaking throughout the night. Bar could do with being a bit more stocked up, ran out of vodka.

L'hotel potrebbe essere un gioiellino ma purtroppo è sporco e in decadenza. Il letto è comodo ma il bagno è inutilizzabile, lo scarico non funziona bene ed è molto vecchio e macchiato. Il personale però è simpatico e abbiamo dormito bene.
