Good location. The place is falling apart. Crockery and cutlery all different. The walls and ceilings are stained and look ready to fall down. It seems that it's a one man show and the manager can't be everywhere

Property is dilapidated and needs serious maintenance and revamping. Seemed as though there were long term residents occupying rooms and communal spaces. Rooms were much too expensive for the state they were in.
