The room was damp and smelt foisty. The hotel looked old and tired. Carpets were frayed and old. Door didn't lock properly. Room wasn't very clean and was dated. The menu was exorbitantly over priced as were drinks. I checked out and booked a Holiday Inn nearby. When I said I was checking out, none of the staff asked why, they were more bothered about who to hand the room key to.

Feels dirty I cannot sleep
Staff and front of house all lovely and clean. However my room is full of spider webs and damp. The kettle contains mould and looks like the mirror does too? There is so many bugs and even marks on the bedsheets. The bed is like sleeping in a hammock it’s that dipped. Nothing like the pictures or 4* once past reception. I’m disappointed
