Not the standard previously experienced
Pros:

Location. We arrived after 8pm and were able to park close to the entrance which was convenient with two kids on my own

Cons:

The room and facilities are very worn. There was significant staining in the bathroom sink which made the bathroom feel dirty, even though it has been cleaned. Marks on walls were apparently. Blinds didn't move with ease.
Wooden room service tray felt on and the chairs and tables at breakfast were old and chipped. The breakfast buffet was certainly not to the standard of previous visits. Even some of the severy was damaged which prevented the food from being kept hot- the bacon was inedible as a result sadly.
There was a woman who was exceptionally rude to us at the buffet and scared my children telling them off for not having shoes on, despite them not being the only ones. This made them nervous for the remainder of their breakfast.
