On arrival we had to make our way through a group of smokers hogging the hotel's entrance. The receptionist was welcoming and efficient. A bowl of apples was placed nearby for guests. Our room with balcony was of sufficient size, with cheap furnishings and an even cheaper thin mattress on awfully squeaky bed slats. The bath was outdated & gloomy with discoloured sealant featuring around the shower base. Breakfast commences at 7:00 and was served in a cosy room that could get easily overcrowded, given the hotel's number of rooms. The food on offer was plenty though presented listless and, apart from the bred & rolls, lacked any taste, e.g. the fruit salad appeared to be days old and the cheeses tasted like rubber ...
We wasted no time and checked out soon after breakfast. The second receptionist again was welcoming and efficient, and yes, the group of smokers were still hogging the hotel's entrance.
