The room was overall clean, however the arm chair in the room had a big stain and i could not sit on it. The tiles around the bath tub were stained so i was out off from having a bath. The main point though is there was no warmth from stuff. All i got was are you checking in? and on my last day when i approached the reception desk to check out i said good morning and the answer was 'checking out'.

we booked a triple room for a 1 night stay , really looking forward to the stay ,my wife and elderly aunty went to the room to check in and were shocked and flabbergasted with the state of the room . Its supposed to be a 4 star more like 2 , the carpets chips on the woodwork basically horrendous, they were then offered another triple , better than the first but also in a very poor state of repair ,so disoppointed the you tall young lady on reception was fantastic if the rooms were like her you would have an amazing place .

Amazing staff, really friendly and helpful for any inquiries seeing as we got there like midnight. The room was clean and laid out nicely, considering i booked three singles. Good media selection on the TV, WiFi was a quick and easy process as well. Didnt get to try the food but I'm sure it slaps! Checkout was straightforward as well, amazing customer service from those I talked to.
