comfortable bedreasonable pricesdated roomhanging rail
The room included two tvs and plenty of seating. dinner was enjoyable. I liked my starters and the steaks served on the first night. (the bar prices were fair too!)
The room i stayed in felt very dated. the bathroom had a heated towel rail. It was hanging off the wall. (this made the bathroom seem a bit neglected).
