There is a saying in that you pay for what you get and as our other accommodation cancelled on us Horse & Jockey was available... We had a late check-in and the staff were very helpful. The rooms however were terrible, I had no hot water for my shower and the shower head was MIA. The bathroom was not what I'd call clean and was in effect unusable.
