disappointing, and will not be back - but the breakfast and staff at this point were great
Pros:

the breakfast

Cons:

the fires were not lite, the staff were school leavers, the bedroom was freezing, as no-one had put on the radiators. The restaurant looked uninviting, and cheap. ( unlike the price). Shame as its a good looking hotel, ( and used to be classy) but run now like a night bar and by people who, not at their fault, not understand what it should be like to stay at a 3 star hotel.
