Filthy and run down.
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Absolutely filthy. Stained bed, stained walls, swear words written all over the lift.

Booked a double room, given two singles.

The dirtiest room we’ve ever stopped in and if we didn’t check in at midnight and fall straight asleep we would have requested a different room. Made us feel sick in the light.

Great hotel and location for a short stay.
Pros:

Excellent location for the activities I had planned. Breakfast was sublime. The pool area looked good but due to time limitations I wasn't able to take advantage of it.

Cons:

Only real criticism is that it looks like the corridors could do with a coat of paint, all just a bit tired. That is my only moan, and it is a tiny one.
