Not too bad for a quiet one night stay
Pros:

Nice quiet location. The reception was welcoming and friendly, very quick and efficient! Comfortable bed if a little soft.

Cons:

Major Stains on the bedding carpets and curtains, walls very dirty and marked. Overall needs a little updating and deep cleaning but the general cleaning was well done.

Wish I booked somewhere else. Very disappointed.
Cons:

The cleaning was well can’t say it was clean enough to feel comfortable the bathrooms were gross with mould all over shower nothing u would expect staying at a hotel, I wouldn’t even shower in a shower that bad at my own place. Not worth the money and I feel a full refund is fair. Photos are the state of both showers in the room we stayed in.
