Many guests appreciate the good-sized rooms, some of which are equipped with useful amenities such as a fridge and a bath.

The bathroom looked small, a tight space I daresay. The television did not function properly on BBC 1 channel. The seat upon the lavatory was exceedingly loose. The maintenance both inside and out requires immediate attention to improve standards.

no hot water faulty shower
The room had a fridge, useful.
There was no hot water in my room. I ran the tap for ages, but nothing happened on Saturday or Sunday morning. The shower gave short bursts of warm water on Friday night, but it did not work on Saturday. I wouldn't recommend this hotel in winter, unless your expectations are very low.
