clean - dated - Well used mattress - breakfast is limited in terms of choice.
Pros:

it was clean - room had everything I needed in it.

Cons:

Live band playing until after 11pm on a Saturday night. Hotel is somewhat dated. Mattress will give some guests an uncomfortable night - it needs changing. Breakfast is basic with limited choice but cooked nicely.
