Extremely poor, I’d never stay there again.
Pros:

Nothing really. It wasn’t well presented and very run down for a 4* hotel. Breakfast was decent but that’s about it.

Cons:

Our room was extremely run down, holes in the floor, broken coffee table, paint falling off the walls, marks everywhere and paint splattered on curtains. Just really bad.

Pros:

The hotel is shabby and not very clean. It is overpriced and overrated. We paid £177.00 for a suite and although large was poor and smelt musky.
