Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room 19-blinds had months(no exaggeration) of dust, toilet still soiled from previous guests, room noisy as facing main road. Bar had 3 attempts to pour a Guinness even although I advised there was no gas left. Didn't get the breakfast order correct either. Spoke with other guest who had 3 room changes in one night.Poor service from what was once a good hotel.
