The room was very large with a large window overlooking a small park.
It was very clean and the bed, bedding and towels were of high quality.
The hair dryer was missing and the television was not working.
The shower is over the bath which may be difficult for some.

Needed a good revamp Air Conditioner not working properly. It was very warm in room said air con set at 19 but it was more like 28 very warm and uncomfortable. Cold water tap on hand basin did not work unless you turned on Fawcett under the basin if let on tap kept running. Power Point were few and by bed you had to get down on your knees as they were on one side under the side table . Staff were friendly though.

Dated, tired, run down accommodation. Dull and lifeless. Tap fell off in the shower, dirty, broken spa, bedside lamp not working and capped off (in built in wall). Squeaky bed and a good gap under the door allowing light and noise from the hallway.
