Great Location with Amazing Views

nice snackscomfortable bedsold carpet
The hotel is near both the bus and train stations. I found a grocery store within walking distance which was really useful. The room included some nice snacks. It was also quiet at night. The beds were comfortable.
The fire alarm went off at night and disrupted my sleep. I noticed peeling paint outside the pool area. the bar did not open until 5.30pm, so getting a drink or snack at lunchtime wasn't possible. Stair carpet was worn and dirty. The stairs also had poor lighting.

The room itself seemed newly renovated and provided excellent facilities. There were both tea and coffee facilities available. A big jar full of treats including biscuits and crisps was a lovely touch..
