The property entrance, lobby and grounds were very good but the room decor (walls, furniture, lighting) was too dark and gloomy. The room was large enough but in essence needs an upgrade.

Deborah

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Very disappointing room. Carpet was stained, black mould in the shower door tracks, marks around hand basin and old and tarnished tap fittings. The only service to the room during our three day stay was emptying of the bins. The rooms are in desperate need of a refresh. On a positive note , the bed was extremely comfortable.
