Poor
The hotel is tired and a little grubby. Stains on the wall in our room.and a tv that didn’t work. The staff at check in where ok but weren’t knowledgeable about bar stock local places to eat. The man in the suit on reception in the morning was positively rude. I asked very politely if he could order a taxi for us at which point he suggested that we walk to the taxi rank . When I said I didn’t want to do this he begrudgingly said he would order one which in fairness he did but he was rather rude. It all just felt very tired and like an incredibly cheep hotel that no one cared about.
