Great staff make up for a lacklustre stay
The hotel appears to have a long standing issue with the hot water, so much so that there was a notice on the toilet cistern saying so. Both the shower and hot watertap must be run at the same time. If we knew we wouldn't have booked. The walls are thin, we could hear other residents in the wee small hours, and there was a persistent and intermittent scratching through the night which I suspect was a rodent. The last time I looked at the clock it was 3am. I have never had to write a review like this before, however it's fair to say you get what you pay for.

Disappointing room. Ratty decor. TV didn't work, no curtains and just one set of blinds. The bathroom stank. Was only staying one night and wouldn't have stayed longer.
