The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. I noted an odd number of spoons and forks. The bathroom, albeit clean was rather tired and dated. There was paint that was cracked on the wall was non repaired damage to the sink and shower. There was also a lack of steam extractor fan that had obviously previously led to fire alarms if the bathroom door was left open.
