The whole floor smelt like over cooked cabage it was disgusting. There was no access to tooth brushes (surely there should be some spares at reception avail on request or to purchase) and the room while clean was in need of a decent upgrade. Very expensive room for the standard of the premises

Disappointed
We didn’t end up staying we checked out due firstly to the odour that emanated through the hotel from permanent residence living in the hotel. The room itself was unkempt bathroom was grott, toilet seat coming off and cupboards falling apart. dirty floor. Beds were dishevelled. TV was on in room like someone had been staying in the room in vacated just as we arrived. In the room for a period of approximately 15 minutes before leaving hotel. Very disappointing to arrive to the state that it was.
