Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Reception staff were not helpful. The mattress was terrible and the room was noisy. The rooms are old and there is no attempt to try simple things to cover up some of what makes the place very dated. Not worth the price and not somewhere I will choose to stay again.
