Cheap and Cheerful
Pros:

The Room was clean and comfortable albeit old fashioned in keeping with the establishment itself. Staff were kept very busy but remained attentive and efficient

Cons:

The food that was deep fried had that old fat tainted smell and taste, not great to be honest
Smell of cigarettes constantly on our landing outside room 7.
