Disappointed

Liked:Location is great.

Disliked:Not clean. Bathrooms had a urine smell. Shower curtain filthy. Switched rooms for second night and the smell was there on a different floor as well. Microwave and top cover on bed also unclean. Breakfast area had flooding with part of the ceiling coming down.

Great Stay

Liked:Great location. We had the best room, which was spacious, newly refurbished & overlooked the water & The Fiddle. The beds were very comfy & also had a fridge & microwave if needed.

Disliked:The breakfast was ok. Very small area to get cereals & toast so was quite busy & had to ask the Staff a few times to refill a few things.
