Badly dated
Pros:

Dated and in serious need of renovation. The rooms had a musty smell, dirty carpet and massively outdated furniture. Took this room because closest to a wedding venue. Big mistake. Would not recommend.

Pros:

I was not planning to stay at this hotel but I decided to go because my hotel was totally booked. I paid a little bit too much for a regular room, but was high season.
Everything went well, till in the morning I went to do a check out and the woman started being super wierd with me. She told me my card was rejected (which it wasnt), who was the person that cheked me in, and some other questions that I felt very unconfortable.
She told me then everything was ok, that I can have the breakfast.
I was like... what?

Beside that strange experience the hotel was clean and breakfast was good
