If only the room was as good as the staff
Pros:

The outside was lovely and so was the reception. It set high expectations for the room, which was booked for our 1st anniversary however it was beyond poor.

Cons:

The room was horrendous. The toilet door did not shut which was very annoying. And the main door did not shut unless we used the force of our shoulders which have hurt us.
There was mould and cracks everywhere which made it very smelly and just not a nice atmosphere.

No sound proofing, and not well kept room
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Room smelt of cigarettes, stains all over the floor, cups dirty one had a lipstick stain. no sound proofing at all. TV was not a smart TV as claimed and it was like watching football in the 90s. When we first arrived room next door had loud music on, reception did ask them to turn it down. In the night there was drunk idiots running up and down the hall shouting banging doors, unfortunately didn't get to sleep till 2am.
