“Not worth the money.”
+Not a lot but the bar was nice, beer was good and staff friendly
−It was in a very poor state of repair requires painting, cleaning properly (old takeaway container left on bedside table), toilet seat falling off, heated towel rail not working and the bed mattress was completely knackered as all the springs down one side had broken.
