The staff was very friendly they called up to the room when we arrived. They wanted to make sure everything was okay. The women who checked us in was friendly and couldn't do enough for us. She wanted to.
The room smelled very stuffy on entering. It gave a bit of a faulty towers vibe. I found a massive hole in the wall by the radiator. There was thick dust and cobwebs inside radiator.
