An ok stay with SOME issues

vile smelllack of honesty

The first room was a bit of a DISASTER. I was told there had been a spillage. It smelled terrible because someone had been sick in there. They took money off, but I didn't LIKE the lack of honesty. The second night was much better and the room was cosy.

the location was quite convenient. it made getting around the area relatively easy.

I found the service rather slow and inattentive. It took ages to get anyone's attention. the food quality was also a major letdown. My dinner was bland. the value did not match the price.
