I would never stay here again and I didn’t find the staff friendly either.
Pros:

I’m struggling to come up with a positive to be honest.

Cons:

The room had no windows so felt claustrophobic. It seemed quite dirty, the carpets had markings and chewing gum in it. The bath had stains in it. It was a disabled room which I didn’t realise. It was unbearable hot and there was no fan. I had to ask reception for a fan twice before it arrived. The TV didn’t work so I reported it and it turned out the batteries were dead. Once replaced the TV worked but failed again in the morning.
