Distinctly average in appearance but expected for the price. Hotel entrance was open but we actually had to check in at the bar, I assume manager (large Eastern European man) was less than welcoming. No thought given to the booking compared to the room given. Double bed room booked, given two single beds on separate sides of the room. This was corrected without enthusiasm. Moved to a room that the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned and smelled. Was told this would be corrected and believe it was. Bed was pretty terrible, shower was as cheap as they come.
In the morning we asked about breakfast as there is a dining room with guests happily eating but no mention of it and verbatim were told “No breakfast for you...” went across the road to the cafe and they couldn’t be more welcoming.
Overall stay wasn’t very good. We had a toilet leak which kept me awake all night. There was no1 around to talk to about this issue. There was no1 around when it came to check out the whole place was closed, there were people waiting for breakfast sat in the dark with the kitchen closed. The milk in the room was also 4months out of date.
