Negative Reviews

negative:

Feels tired and old.

The hotel might have seen better days and is in need of a refurbishing. Rooms can be cold, as can showers.

negative:

Lift doesn't always work, holds only a few people.

The hotel's lift could do with a replacing. Old and a bit rickety, it fits only about two people, and some strength is required to open the doors.

negative:

Beds are disappointing, uncomfortable.

The mattresses are not said to always be terribly comfortable. Issues like dips in the middle and two beds pushed together to make a double have been reported by unhappy sleepers.
