Pathetic !
Pros:

For a 2 star hotel, one did not expect much. However this place really needs a revamp or upgrade of the their carpets in the rooms. A good paint job will be most welcome. There were no hangers, not a single one, in the wardrobes. Our room was on the second floor - rats / mice were constantly running and making noise in the ceiling, we could not sleep at all. We booked and paid for 3 nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) but we just could not cope with the tats / mice noise, staying only for 2 nights and checked out on Sunday. The hotel told us that they could not refund us for the third night because we made our booking through hotel.com

I doubt that I will ever stay at this hotel again nor will I ever recommend this place.

Pros:

A very quiet,relaxing environment. The room is very clean. There is no coffee making material in the room. The Bar and restaurant were closed in the afternoon and evening, which was disappointing. Unfortunately my shower was cold dispite my efforts to turn on hot water. Some improvement could help .
