Acceptable Stay, but Some Issues

dirty carpets uninterested staff

Breakfast had a good selection and was satisfactory.

The room was not as clean as I expected. I found some hairs in the toilet. the carpets was quite filthy and seemed dated, not cared for. The smell upon entering the building resembled a pub, not a fresh hotel. The morning staff seemed uninterested in assisting me.
