We had two rooms. One bathroom had mold in the shower and the floor was not vacuumed. The single beds were very small and uncomfortable. The floor in the other bathroom had leaking tiles. The positive note is that it is in a great location along the water and one street away from the fun pedestrian shopping street.

Old matrace with tired springs and the double bed was uncomfortably small. Carpet was dark but doesn't seem to be overly clean. View at the side side of the the neighbouring house, so no view.

The room was clean and the staff were very pleasant. However, the hairdrier didn't work for very long whether by design or because it was faulty I don't know. The plug chain for the bath was jammed in the drain hole so I had to pull the chain and accidentally broke it before I could have a bath. Water flow was poor and it took ages to fill the bath.

The room was very shabby! The bathroom was inoperable save for the toilet. The water didn’t work in the shower/tub and was barely working in sink. The water that did come out of the tap in the sink was luke warm at best. Don’t stay there! The best thing was the pub across the way which has nothing to do with said property.

Room definitely not in as good shape as the photos suggest. Was entirely unable to get any hot water in the shower. Location right next to a decently noisy road. Also every restaurant in town was unable for walk-up dinning and required getting on a waiting list or waiting in person for a table.
