Mediocre stay. Expected MORE

mouldy bathroom small lift

The bathroom really let the room down. There was mould present. The television was tiny. It was wall-mounted but about the size of a laptop, I EXPECTED better. The lift was small. Two small people and two small suitcases barely fit.

the rooms were super clean. staff at reception, in the shop, and during breakfast were very lovely, they were so kind! the indoor and outdoor pools offered such a nice variety.

i had to pay £10 for parking because i booked through expedia. the corridors to the rooms were quite dated, and the carpet showed dirt in MANY places. the hotel is up on a hill, and it was a bit TOO much for me
