Run down building in need of repair and hand rails deeded on stepped pathways. This was a problem.
Pros:

This was a Executive Room We paid £168.18 for 2 nights including Breakfasts .Initial view was good. When you walk in the room. The bed was large and looked comfortable.

Cons:

We landed for our break in a heatwave . We found the room had vents in the roof leading us to think it was a working aircon. It was not working. All we had was a desk fan circulating the hot air. We opened the curtains to find some of the windows were broken and taped over the cracks with an opaque plastic lining to hold it together but you could not see through them. only one window would open about 2 inches because of a wooden bar stopping it from opening. The windows that had glass in were filthy to the point of obscuring your view. The Aircon needed to work so you could sleep.
