The guy working in the restaurant on Sunday morning was brilliant, the food was tasty and came out quickly but I was there at a time the rush was over. The room was good with the exception that both taps dripped all night but I could barely hear it over the noise from the celebration downstairs.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Check in was very slow as only one person helped guests the other sat there, he wasn't on the phone so no reason to not get up and help or at least acknowledge guests. My room on arrival wasn't very clean. I reported it to reception including specifics like hairs in the sink, dirty stained toilet and broken dripping shower control. The hairs were still there the next day, toilet was cleaner but still stained. Housekeeping didn't touch the bed but had folded the toilet paper and replaced the one of every product with just two conditioners and two body lotion to show they had been. Hairs still there after day three. On my last morning a staff member let themself into my room at 8.45am (well before checkout) no knocking or announcing. I saw the secure lock move then handle and had a bag in the way so they couldn't enter my room. The storage for bags isn't secure they leave the door open during the day and I have seen at least four people enter the room with no staff member standing there. The daytime receptionist let me leave my bags behind reception as she saw my concern but the front office manager had told the night receptionist this isn't to happen. It's an old rundown building with no sound proofing but I expect the basics - safety and clean - especially when I report it to staff.
