i found the room very clean. it also had all the amenities i needed in a hotel room. the steak dinner i had (it was a monday special) was excellent value.

the water pressure in the shower was low. i also didn't have hot water on the second morning. the external areas are not very attractive (needs work!).

The bathroom was a bit of a letdown. The toilet paper holder was practically falling off the wall. plus, there was mold in the shower and a noticeable strong smell in the room. i also didn't realize there was a rugby match happening, so enthusiastic support was abundant.
