adequate, but some issues noted

friendly staffstain wallsrusty kettle
the staff was friendly enough.
My comfort room with a double bed was not up to par. The walls had stains, and the carpet looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned in ages. the kettle was rusty, and it failed after only one use. the price was excessive for the condition of the room, especially since it exceeded £200.
