Cooked breakfast is not provided. The toast served is overdone most times. The tables are not cleaned immediately so guests end up having to share clean tables with other guests and borrow clean cups and plates.
The rates are rather expensive and not value for money spent.
The carpets on stairway and landing are dirty and smell peculiar. Heating keeps going on and off leaving the guests feeling cold. Leaking in bathrooms is an issue as the leakage seeps into the bedrooms below making the bed and linens wet!
