Decent Location, Some Issues
rubber eggsoutdated hairdryer
The breakfast was REALLY bad. Scrambled eggs tasted like rubber and the bacon was hard as a brick. The staff gave me £15 back after I complained, but the experience ruined the morning!!! The room was also quite outdated. There was a 70's-style hairdryer in the drawer that smelled like it was about to catch fire.
