old hotel...trying to keep up.
Pros:

the hotel is a old building, the tafftryes but is so much you can do without proper renovation

Cons:

with a bit of attention to details and a bit more cleaning the hotel will be good.

Cons:

Tv had no remote, tried a few remotes, still didn't work, turning tv on manually, still not working, so no tv all night. He didn't offer any solutions, could have offered monetary discount now or next 'stay' or move to another room with tv that was working, our biggest disappointment was he " did nothing "
