friendly receptionist comfortable bed nice decoration worn carpet many stairs filthy skirting
The receptionist was friendly and helpful at my arrival. I felt very welcome! The room was a nice size with a comfortable bed. I found the hotel main areas decorated nicely, too.
The corridor carpets are old and worn. They seemed a trip hazard. My room was right at the back of the hotel. I used many stairs to get to my room. The cleanliness could improve. The skirting was filthy.

An Okay Stay with Room for Improvement
first class pool airy room stained carpets tired decor
The pool was first class, I believe. The room was large and airy, so that was nice and clean. Its in a great location and I would have ate in the hotel, I suppose. We like to spread our custom around to local businesses because it would be a dull area without them, I feel. This helps the hotel as well.
Carpets and chairs were stained in room. The decor and furniture was tired, I think. Some parts of the bathroom needed extra attention when being cleaned. Mould was at corners of shower area and inside waterfall tap.
