Improvements needed
Pros:

The staff were nice and it was fairly quiet. Also the breakfast was very nice.

Cons:

Room wasn't very clean - dead insects around the window, towels were stained. Also tv didn't work on any channel - couldn't get signal. The fan in the bathroom was quite loud and sounded pretty knackered. The mattress felt very uneven which was quite uncomfortable.
