A disappointing experience
Pros:

Nice location.

Cons:

Rooms are old and tired as are stairs and corridors. It’s billed a. Z heritage hotel but it needs a refurb. No hot water for a shower at 9am. Tap dripping, heater had to be fixed by staff. Noise from adjacent rooms. Not the romantic, relaxing weekend we were expecting.
