Upper Ross Hotel
"Room is clean and comfortable. The attached bistro had nice food. I stayed for a week but my room was never serviced. There was no hand cleaner in the men’s toilet. The whole time I was there for the worst thing is there’s no carpet in the holes and the doors. Bang and people are coming and going ..."
