It was comfortable. met requirements. Unfortunately there was some takeaway Asian food in two containers outside a room on a table near my room that was there when we arrived on Friday night and still there leaking out of the container when we left Sunday morning. Not a good look......

I liked the period decor of function/dining room and staircase area. However actual room was neglected. Damaged wardrobe, no bedside lights for reading. Poor tv reception and limited channels

We love these old hotels and we stay in them because we don't want to see them go. Yes, its a bit dated, with our room a testament to a 1970's renovation (polystyrene ceiling tiles and metal shower tray anyone?), but the room was clean and comfortable. It has recently changed hands and the new owners look set to improve it over time.
