A grand old building, this could be so much more and hopefully it may, one day, be returned to its former glory. At the moment, however, there is a sense that it is ticking along but hasn't got long left to live.
Those manning the reception we amazing. Polite, helpful and happy.
There are a few stairs but to any normal human, they won't pose a problem.
Our room was clean, fresh sheets and had no odour. The carpet had seen better days, mind you. Walls had been damaged, plastered in but not been sanded or painted over to hide the original hole/dent. A small TV was propped up against a wall, no use to anyone, and could have done with a little work to pop it up on a bracket. A white curtain covered the window and was fairly ineffective at blocking the light though a t-shirt draped over ones eyes did the trick! Beds are soft but comfortable.
Bathroom was clean and ensuite which was a lovely surprise as I thought it was shared! The shower was a bit disappointing as it would fill up after a few second with the shower on. I must admit that standing in ones own dirty water makes my stomach turn, but if you think about it, it's not unlike a bath!
Overall, myself and my friends had a good night sleep in a venue that was close to the centre (a mile) and offered us everything we needed.
If you're planning on spending very little time in your room, because you're out drinking or sight seeing then this place, for the money, this place is fine.
If you want luxury...jog on!
