Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It had parking and you could see how lovely the building used to be!
Negative: Run down, tired. Completely inappropriate music in restaurant for families (explicit lyrics). Staff looked and sounded so bored and uninterested. Poor quality breakfast, evening meal was ok.
Summary: A bit of a shame as the hotel had obviously seen better days.
