Bed and pillows were excellent! Room was tidy. |Shower needed a good scrub, lots of brown mould on the bottom and around the shower door. The sink also wasn’t really clean, as had the brown stain around the plug. This wiped off on the towel😬

Considering that it is an old hotel, the room is clean and tidy. My sleep was good, and the bed was comfortable. Water was all over the drip tray when we arrived. To empty it, my spouse had to ask for towels. They offered us an upgrade. Next room size up with a view. A drink voucher each. The staff at the restaurant, housekeeping, and reception were all accommodating and kind.
