Property is old and in need of a makeover. Restaurant is reasonable but our bedroom was shabby and the bathroom needed a deep clean. Lift is in poor condition. Breakfast was good and reception staff helpful.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was a strange stay, bedding and towels were spotless and fresh towels left on second day. Room was bit shabby but clean. In contrast the bathroom was dated with old cracke dirty tiles and a badly soiled shower curtain.The toilet bowl was clean. As hotel was rated 3 stars and reasonably priced. I wasnt expecting luxury. But cleanliness is paramount. I Staff were pleasant and friendly on check in and check out
