Very Strange place...
Pros:

The location is in the centre of town.

Cons:

This has to be the weirdest hotel I have ever stayed in. From having to enter a code on to this over sized buttons to my the elevator work. To have an ironing board outside my room and calling it the Ironing stations. There was no real cups or glass or cheap disposal ones in the room. And the room its self was right out of a 70s horror movie. The breakfast lol. Do not got for what they call a continental. It is 3 cereal box's some bread and some random confectionery. But hot food is only from 9am 😆 🤣. Very strange place. Off and the random not saying the fire alarm will go off every Monday lol

We had a lovely stay
Pros:

The hotel is very central. Most of the staff were very helpful and pleasant, especially the lovely lady who served our breakfast. She is a precious member of staff.

Cons:

The only thing I can fault is the polish receptionist with the red hair, who was quite rude on 2 occasions. Such a shame.
