v average hotel for the high price
The room was tired & small difficult to find enough space for two suitcases, the ensuite had nowhere to hang a towel, no where in the shower to place toiletries, the floor was v old. The roller blinds didn't work & the walls were v thin so you could hear the next door neighbour's tv . All the doors slammed shut,the bedside table was also the kettle stand due to size of room. The bed was uncomfortable. the food was v average & the woodfired pizza van parked to the side at the front of the hotel blew smoke directly into the bedroom
