This is a lovely old hotel that is really showing her age, The staff were very friendly and chatty but im afraid it was not for me
The room couldve have done with a proper clean, not enough towels, no sowermat? Had to request one. No airconditioning. No bathroom fan. Lacked a lot of basics

Convenient to nearby facility. Noise was easily heard from guest next-door. One was opening or closing doors & windows loudly 10pm/ 6am radio or tv bleering loudly.
Wifi was given but had no connections.

Basic clean rooms with efficient and kind staff. Fixtures and rooms are dated and basic, but clean and have what you need. Safe area with security company and council buildings next door. Super easy parking. Perfect place to rest your head for the night between adventures.
Holes in the ceiling, filthy carpet, dirty red shag-pile carpet on the walls of the lift, no light shade, not enough powerpoints, broken chairs on the balcony", however sheets and towels were clean and the water was hot.
