Plussat: We had a lovely stay for a couple of nights. I particularly liked the complimentary glass of sherry and the cheese and wine at 5pm

Miinukset: Everything was fine thank you. No complaints

Plussat: Unbelievable little gem next door to Warkworth Castle. A beautifully kept bed and breakfast. Fully of nostalgia of earlier years. The room was spotless, the host couldn't be more accommodating and friendly... The breakfast menu you will have difficulty finding anywhere else. It was wonderful. We have just returned from a two night stopover and wish it could have been longer. Many thanks to Claire, stu and team for a fantastic stay.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing.

Plussat: Fantastic location with the castle just across the road. The room was very clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast choice. Very friendly staff. Parking just outside on the road. Very convenient.

Plussat: Gorgeous tranquil location within reach of interesting sights. Loved the long sweeping drive to the entrance of the house. Very comfortable bed and spacious shower room. Friendly and helpful host. Superb breakfast. Thank you.

Miinukset: Maybe a the addition of a bath in the large bathroom would have been relaxing.

Plussat: Lovely property. Probably the best room I have ever stayed away in. The bed was as comfy as home, unlike most hotels.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The breakfasts were fantastic, everything cooked fresh & the service was wonderful. Michelle is a wonderful hostess, we didn’t get to meet Paul. Very attentive service but not over the top. Room was lovely & comfortable. Will definitely book again.

Miinukset: Sitting room maybe just a little too formal to feel relaxed in there, but that’s just our opinion.

Plussat: An excellent place to stay. Relaxed and peaceful setting. Superb rooms including a very comfy bed. Breakfast was plentiful and beautifully cooked. Michelle was a delight. Would recommend anyone to stay. We’re checking our diaries now!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful room, very comfy large bed, with everything you would need, over looking the gardens, very quiet, no road noise at all. Elegant lounge to sit in, and a very good choice for breakfast ,and a great hostess, who was willing to help in any way she could.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The best B&B we have stayed in. Wonderful hospitality. No detail spared.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Plussat: The couple who run this quality home show enthusiasm and concern to ensure their guests enjoy the experience. The facilities are everything you could wish for if you are looking for a tranquil base to explore the beautiful countryside around. Great breakfast and croissants to die for.

Miinukset: No adverse comment

Plussat: Breakfast, big room, friendley hosts, quite location.

Plussat: The food was excellent quality at a realistic price . The breakfasts were delicious with good quality products . The men loved the full English as it was giant sized . Room was very spacious with a lovely en-suite and large bed.

Miinukset: The bathroom light on a sensor which took ages to go out at night .

Plussat: Room was clean and comfortable and bathroom good. Reception on arrival was poor and so was meal on first evening. Breakfast was good and breakfast staff good.

Miinukset: See above

Plussat: Food was delicious. Staff very welcoming. Countryside fantastic.

Plussat: Great breakfast, better on the second morning when there were pastries and berries.

Miinukset: That we weren't believed that we had already paid via booking.com

Plussat: Another fully pet friendly hotel that even provided bed, dog treats and poo bags. Room was very comfortable and bathrooms nicely cleaned every day. Pub very busy for dinner every night and delicious. Breakfast was always served with good food and friendly staff. Very accommodating hotel.

Miinukset: My slight complaint was that you could hear the music from pub at night if you went up early to your room but they stopped or turned down around 11pm

Plussat: Great food. Good size room with excellent facilities

Miinukset: Nothing was wrong

Plussat: Nice room with excellent bathroom . Lovely atmosphere in the bar with local people as well as guests with dogs everywhere - truly dog friendly.

Miinukset: The food was a disappointment but maybe the head chef was off on Sunday night and Monday.

Plussat: The breakfast was good with a well cooked selection. There was a selection for any taste.

Miinukset: I thought the staff needed proper training as the waitress at our table did not know how to use a corkscrew and had to seek help. They were also a little uncommunicative.

Plussat: Breakfast was amazing. Beds were luxurious!

Miinukset: Water stains/damp in bedroom - did NOT cause us a problem however!!!!

Plussat: Jo is an excellent hostess can’t fault her or the house

Plussat: Location is perfect. Nice and quiet. Great breakfast.

Plussat: Room was very comfortable, nice personal touches, great location

Miinukset: Parking with a raised curb.

Plussat: Very comfortable and stylish. Excellent location.

Miinukset: We booked for bed and breakfast but no-one was in the house to cook it. When I rang the number given I was told it was for room only. Two other couples during the weekend also were expecting breakfast.

Plussat: The location. Excellent host.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent breakfasts, staff cheerful and helpful.

Plussat: It was right where I wanted to be, in the tourist locations of Alnwick castle and gardens but also near food and drink and other retail outlets, The atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly and Jo respected my privacy. I am definitely going back.

Miinukset: It’s not everywhere I visit and my stay was not long enough.

Plussat: Room was lovely & had everything in it you could need. Usual tea & coffee facilities, Iron, hair dryer, toiletries,cotton buds & tissues if needed were in the room. All little touches & things which you might have forgotten to pack in your bag.very comfy bed, immaculately clean. Jo who runs the place is absolutely lovely & couldnt do enough for you.lovely friendly lady.

Miinukset: Nothing wrong with accommodation but the parking is a bit tricky sometimes.room for 2 average size cars off road in front of building but if you have an estate car like ours it's difficult to park.there is parking on the road in front but only on an evening & need to move your car early or could be ticketed if late moving it.parking bay over the road for 3 cars but need to hope spaces available. But this is a problem for all the hotels/b&bs in the area & I wouldn't fault the accommodation for this.we stayed 5 nights & managed to park somewhere each night but had to be prepared to park up & move the car again later if necessary.

Plussat: Friendly and helpful landlady. It was very close to the centre of Alnwick , the castle and Gardens. The car parks in Alnwick are free so it worked out fine.

Miinukset: The room was small and compact but everything just fitted.

Plussat: Dinner was excellent very clean room and good location

Miinukset: Breakfast for my partner had been left to dry out and was on a scalding plate - breakfast staff could have been more attentive. Asked for extra toast and never appeared - had to go searching for some things that should have been on the table

Plussat: Location very peaceful, fabulous hotel building, first class restaurant, helpful and friendly staff.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, staff, location, room,food all spot on

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Food was great. Location was very convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Curtain covering the door did not fit properly. and therefore let light in through the top glass panel at night. No wi-fi reception except up in the main hall, and our room was in the coach house.

Plussat: breakfast was excellent, staff friendly & attentive. All in all first class!

Miinukset: Radiators not working so room was cold but receptionist fetched small heater which was adequate.

Plussat: The room was spacious, beautifully furnished and decorated, spotlessly clean, well-equipped and luxurious. The hotel overall was quiet and peaceful, the service provided by staff was prompt, professional and friendly, the food superb and the whole ambience pleasant and tranquil. The crowning glory was the pool and spa facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning. My only criticism was the foldaway bed which was so uncomfortable due to being old and broken that it could not be slept on.

Miinukset: The foldaway z-bed provided for my ten year old daughter was old, broken and so uncomfortable as to be impossible for anyone to sleep on. In the end I took the mattress off and slept on the floor and my daughter slept in the four-poster bed with my husband otherwise she would have had no sleep at all. Considering the cost of this foldaway bed is £25 per night it should really be of better quality.

Miinukset: The whole experience was amazing

Plussat: Everything was lovely.the gardens were stunning.staff lovely. Breakfast great.

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: Rooms are spacious, comfortable and a joy to be in. Breakfast was good, evening meal was delicious and staff were very efficient and friendly. Cant fault the hotel, location or service. It is slightly more expensive than some hotels but you do get a good return, for me worth every penny.

Miinukset: Very little I didn't like, only the position of the TV compared to seating arrangement of room which was not a big deal. Being overly picky would have preferred a settee to the chairs provided in room, again not that important to the enjoyment of our stay.

Plussat: This is England at its finest - what a beautiful, lavish experience. Beautiful room in the coach house block with very elegant furnishings. A short drive to the hall. I loved the dining and the library. Moving room to room was a magnificant experience and I felt very proud to be English after staying at such a place. The spa was relaxing too.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Absolutely beautiful place Nice little walks around the gardens Plenty of parking space Staff were welcoming Plenty of things to do at the hotel Food was lovely Rooms were nice and clean Lovely view from the window

Miinukset: I rang up a few weeks prior to ask a few questions about the hotel, I asked if there was anything nice/special touches they could do for me and my partner as it was our 1 year anniversary, they said they would arrange something nice for us in our room, however when we got there, there was nothing... This isn't a major deal, we were just a little disappointed!

Plussat: Beautifully appointed room with a four poster bed.

Miinukset: Bathroom window needed replacing it was an eyesore

Plussat: Clean and comfortable with very helpful staff

Plussat: Great Location. A short walk into Alnwick centre. Good food and friendly staff.

Plussat: The staff were helpful and the location good

Miinukset: Very basic room with no tissues, water, shower hat, face flannel. Bed very firm and creaky. Shower was of the Mira type and very weak flow. The room was up a flight of stairs followed by 3 more short sets of steps. No lift. The last set of 4 led up to the room door. The top step was a metre away from the door which opened outwards making it very awkward to enter and leave the room safely especially if on crutches as was my wife. The room had no hooks on which to hang coats meaning that they had to be left on the floor - not great especially when wet. The only accessible plug sockets was a pair inconveniently located behind the bed head. I had to get on hands and knees to plug anything in eg kettle, phone chargers etc. Although tea making facilities were provided, they were in a table that blocked one of the 2 doors of the small wardrobe. Although it was only 10-13c overnight the room was still too warm and needed the freestanding fan on as there was no air conditioning. This may be because the room - number 31 - was over the top of the dining/kitchen area which might also explain the strong food smell in the immediate corridor outside the room. We tried dinner in the first night as we’d been driving almost 8 hours to get there. Not great. My wife had scampi which turned out to be greasy. Can’t remember what I had but it was ok but clearly not memorable! At an average of £99/night over 3 nights, poor value for money.

Plussat: A Spacious and very clean room, which was pet friendly. Very helpful staff. Great breakfast. Lovely location, just a short walk from the town centre and shops. An added bonus was that we found the Alnwick Beer festival was on, plus a food and drink festival in the market. Planning to revisit.

Plussat: 'Garden room'--- no stairs to climb!! Good breakfast menu. Evening food was good as was the Bar service.

Plussat: Peaceful, relaxing. Just lovely.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice old country pub. Comfy beds good breakfast.

Plussat: Lovely room good food staff excellent

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff very friendly, lovely shower and comfortable beds. Food in the restaurant was very good.

Plussat: Lovely stay at the Georgian guest house, room and breakfast was great

Plussat: Location, location, location.....right in the middle of town, walking distance to everywhere. Comfortable beds, great breakfast, and a warm and helpful host.

Plussat: Location was great friendly meet on arrival.

Miinukset: Room faced street which was very noisy at times due to buses, early morning street cleaners and general traffic. Windows not soundproof enough to keep the noises out.

Plussat: The room was small but it had all the commodities. It was located 5 min walk from the centre .

Miinukset: The bathroom , the basin was too small for my husband to shave and you could not put anything on the side of the sink as it slide inside the basin. The electric shower wasn’t powerful enough and the silicon around the bottom of the shower tray needed replacement

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Internet patchy

Plussat: Location, location, location! Walking distance to all attractions and places to eat. Breakfast very good.

Miinukset: Room and bathroom very small for even two people. Noisy street.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast

Miinukset: Front bedroom suffered from street noise making sleep almost impossible. Not the most comfortable bed I've slept in. Hot water slow slow slow. In room we moved to sink took forever to empty.

Plussat: Breakfast was adequate. No fresh fruit but all cheerfully served. Bed comfy, big TV, warm room.

Miinukset: Front room meant much traffic noise & noise from adjacent pub on Saturday night. Shower had mould growing on the tiles. All very cramped.

Plussat: Off street parking in the centre of a town. The friendly nature of all the staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent location, superb Northumberland hospitality.

Plussat: Very good location for town centre. Local pub I.e.the Fleece very handy to get to and good menu, unfortunately after our 1st day Due to personal problems food was not available rest of our stay. Not the fault of the Georgian Guesthouse, but we were unable to find any where else that suited us !

Miinukset: Parking a bit hit or miss. Room a bit on the small size.

Plussat: Loved the room , location and food, thanks Claire

Plussat: Comfortable, nicely decorated room with armchairs and a separate private bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and our landlady was very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: Lovely and comfortable, excellent location, nice and quiet, lovely cooked breakfast

Plussat: In a quiet area but close to the main route to Alnwick and other destinations. Nice clean room, lovely cooked breakfast and friendly proprietor. Easy parking too.

Miinukset: Liked everything.

Plussat: Breakfast and friendliness/attentiveness of owner

Miinukset: A little too far from Alnwick centre.

Plussat: Lovely place. Clean and tidy, 5 min walk to alnwick Castle and town, 2 min to Ai. And the breakfast was beautiful

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Norhing

Plussat: Lovely place within walking distance of Alnwick castle and town

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing. Location was great, quiet but only a short walk into town. Room clean and spacious.

Miinukset: The shower was a bit temperamental, veered from scalding hot to freezing cold. Got used to it’s foibles though.

Plussat: It was very quaint and and pretty. I was surprised by the room layout but quirky lovely. The staff were really nice and went out of their way to help.

Miinukset: No one's fault but the entrance made me uneasy as it's off of a dual carriageway and was concerned my car would be hit from behind as I slowed to turn, coming out was even more scary. The lighting could be better at night on the far side of the building as walking round as they were full was a bit disconcerting.

Plussat: Quirky and character place, and a homely feel

Plussat: The staff were very warm and welcoming! The breakfasts were excellent, as was the service, and sitting with other guests at a big dining table. It got us all talking to each other. The cats and the chickens in the yard were a surprise, but added to the unique nature of this guest house. The bed sheets and pillow cases were fresh and clean. The Lodge is conveniently situated next to the A1, and is central to visiting the local areas, you do need transport though. There was a large comfortable lounge for guests to use and the rooms were set around a courtyard, which again encouraged you to chat to fellow guests. There were butterflies everywhere!

Miinukset: It’s not so much about any dislikes, more a case of the Lodge is not like any other accommodation we’ve stayed at! It is unique in its looks and set up, and if you can’t deal with ‘different’, Alnwick Lodge is not for you. The owners are keen on an eco-friendly approach, and this philosophy is evident in the way it runs. The towels are not tumble dried, as they’re rough and scratchy, although very clean. The bedding isn’t ironed. First impressions on arrival are off putting as there are several areas of rough ground and clutter in different areas of the land. The rooms are very individual and ours was quite shabby and tight for space, the only window being at the front of the room Incorporating a full glass front, with no window coverings....privacy was therefore an issue for me. There were curtains across the open arch leading into the room but these would have been better at the glass front of the room. Having said all this, we did have a great week there, and whilst my friend loved it and would go back to stay again, it’s not for me.

Plussat: The location was not great as it was on the dual carriageway which meant a drive if you wanted to go out for food but otherwise everything was spot on....an unusual set up in architecture but a lovely place, very interesting.

Miinukset: A bar on site would have been great but I think they are in the process of doing that so thumbs up. Food at night would be a massive bonus as Alnwick has some nice places on offer but they were all absolutely jampacked!

Plussat: The breakfast was terrific. A full course breakfast. Delicious! A very homey atmosphere and the hosts were very welcoming giving us excellent information on sites to be sure to visit.

Miinukset: The shower was a little small but fortunately we are not big people.

Plussat: Fabulous, quirky, very cosy & communal outside area where you can watch the chickens, doves & bats whilst having a drink!

Plussat: Was a really good location. easy access to all the surrounding areas. Staff really friendly and very helpful. Good choice of food / drink at breakfast.

Miinukset: The hotel was very quirky and I like the fact that antiques have been used to furnish the rooms. But it wasn't very clean. The room we were allocated only had a very small skylight window so not a chance of looking at anything other than the sky!

Plussat: If you want an outstanding experience in a truly unique setting, this is it! We travelled with our grown children from America, and they loved it!

Plussat: Great location, friendly, relaxing. Loved the room. Kids loved wandering around with the chickens & exploring the grounds, really safe. Ceiling low & bed high so not great if your claustrophobic (husband).

Miinukset: Bathroom a bit small.

Plussat: Enjoyed the atmosphere

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Staff

Plussat: Friendly staff comfortable room and great breakfast

Miinukset: No lift available

Plussat: The reception was warm and friendly. The restaurant was being used for a coach tour so it was out of bounds. The Bistro was however adequate but not a dining "experience". The room was clean but the bedside lights sagged to one side. Car parking was very convenient.

Miinukset: The Hotel generally looked tired. Poor attention to room maintenance. Lack of staff in the restaurant/bar. Corridor carpets.

Plussat: The position in the middle of Alnwick was ideal - everything within walking distance. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Miinukset: For older people two flights of stairs, the second being steep, were excessive with cases. Planning consent may be an issue but a lift is necessary. In parts of the hotel, including our room, the decoration was a bit tired compared to our last stay six years ago.

Plussat: Excellent situation, very good food and pleasant staff.

Miinukset: The rooms - we had stayed before and had a lovely room overlooking the front of the building - we had paid for a standard room but in hindsight we must have had an upgrade. Hence we persuaded friends to come with us and I booked us both standard rooms. We were so embarrassed - our room (127 I think) was small, no wardrobe - just a rail - and a badly stained threadbare chair. Tiny bathroom with no place for washbags. Our outlook was unpleasant. Our friends' room was equally bad with a toilet that took at least 20 minutes ro refill after flushing and they had to go out side to get to their room.

Plussat: The Olympic dining room

Miinukset: Directions to the rooms

Plussat: The dining room was beautiful and the reception/ bar areas were lovely.

Miinukset: The window blind was cheap and see through and the chair was very worn.

Plussat: George the barman was personable and receptionist was helpful

Miinukset: The hotel was dated and faded. We moved rooms because the window wouldn't open. The next was better but plug in sink didn't work.

Plussat: Lovely clean, tastefully decorated, cosy hotel. Comfy bed, well equipped room and bathroom with a great shower. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff in all parts of the hotel. Private car park nearby although closer on street parking is possible. Great choice for breakfast and evening meals that were very enjoyable. Good choice of wines and beers including a local real ale. Ideally located close to the castle and a short walk to the beach.

Miinukset: The toast making machine. I’ve never found these to be very satisfactory.

Plussat: Beautiful dining room reclaimed from RMS Olympic. Food was excellent with friendly and helpful staff. Great location for visiting the nearby Alnwick Castle and gardens.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: location

Miinukset: shared bathroom

Plussat: Lovely comfortable room, big to, free wifi, tea and coffee included, clean en suite bathroom, friendly staff

Miinukset: Only complaint is the room was freezing when I went to bed. Woke up roasting at 3am when the heating had come on!

Plussat: We were not there long enough to like anything. We travelled 1.30 hours for a 10 minute stay and then a 1.30 hours return journey.

Miinukset: We only booked the hotel as we had a £15.00 discount from booking.com We paid £96.03 for this 10 minute visit which we are not happy about. The parking we had to ride around the block several times waiting for a space. The hotel corridors were filthy. Out bedroom should be condemned. Damp patch on ceiling and a musty smell. Filthy windows, dead spiders and cobwebs and dust inches thick. Wallpaper hanging off and several shades of paint used on the walls. Carpet filthy. Bed side tables the drawers didn't open and the knobs were all loose. Another unit the white dust was inches thick inside the drawer. Bedding stained and when my partner pulled the duvet back a bug flew out and we just left the room and went down stairs and we rang the bell, no one came so we placed the key on the bar and left. As we walked out the chef was at the door shouting on his mobile to someone. Disgusted and would not recommend this hotel to anyone. A weekend away was absolutely ruined.

Plussat: The evening curry meal was really nice.

Miinukset: They advertise breakfast included but they do not serve until 10 am which is much too late for travellers. Car parking is in the main street if you can find a spot.

Plussat: Enjoyed the location, decking area, bar area and

Miinukset: Bathroom smart but not finished, bedroom was a little tired with obvious picture hook damage to walls. Plugs were difficult to access for tv & kettle. Hair dryer inadequate and drawer handles were loose making drawers difficult to open and curtains unlined. Staff were unprofessional, procedures not consistent for all guests some given information sheets others received no information at all, could be left in bedrooms. Staff dressed very casually not creating good impression.

Plussat: It was ok in the evening

Miinukset: We were told we would have a breakfast and that someone would be there to take our food orders but there was nobody there and there was 2 choices of cereal, jugs of milk and juice,sachets of jam and marmalade but no bread and the water boiler was cold,I did find a paper with a choice of breakfast things on it but we sat in dining room on our own we don’t recommend this place to anyone

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The shower overflowing. One member of staff was very aggressive towards me at breakfast, I thought he was going to be violent, so we left and didn't have breakfast, my wife and myself obviously didn't stay and eat breakfast.

Plussat: The evening meal was delicious, Balti and naan bread both cooked on the premises,and with friendly helpful staff. Martin was a great host.

Miinukset: Currently the hotel is going through renovations, although the impact on our stay was minimal, we look forward to visiting when it is all complete.

Plussat: Outside deck area, although the tables were sticky and there was rubbish stacked behind the tables.

Miinukset: The staff, the lack of cleanliness, drinks were pricey. On arrival no one about, a man was waiting to be served in the bar and said it was like "the marie celeste" he was right. Booked last minute and didn't check reviews, if we had would have never stayed there. Had one drink and went out for the evening, when we came back asked what time breakfast was told 9am. Went down for breakfast no menus had to go find one a scruffy dirty A4 sheet with bits crossed out. Yet again the floor was sticky, wallpaper hanging from wall. Had coffee and when asked said we didn't want breakfast, man was rude. Went for our bags and left but not before my husband told the man what he thought of the hotel. There was only 1 other couple at breakfast....hopefully there was no one else in the hotel, because of the reviews. Would not recommend this hotel, not fit for purpose.

Plussat: Location excellent

Miinukset: No lift, difficult stairs and we had to ask for help with the luggage. The hotel is being refurbished but where this has been don,e as far as we could see from our rooms, little attention has been paid to detail. One bathroom had a very awkward shower over the bath with nothing to hold on to. The other two rooms had walk-in showers but no hand-hold and no soap caddy. Non-slip mats were not provided. In one shower the plumbing was incorrect so the the on/off knob was in fact the heat regulator and the heat knob turned the water on - very confusing. In that room the heater was not working, the power points were behind the bed or behind a very heavy chest-of drawers and impossible to reach. The flex for the kettle did not reach the power point in any room so the kettle had to be put on the floor. In one room the bed was only anout 1.5 ft above the floor - far too low for getting in and out easily. Compared with other hotels the beds were not particularly comfortable. All hotel propietors should spend a night in their rooms and consider what their guests might need. We had a reasonable meal when we arrived on a Sunday evenining but felt it was overpriced in comparison with other places on this trip. Breakfast on the Monday morning was completely shambolic. It was later revealed to us that the helper had not arrived, but even so, it hould have been possible to put out enough of the "help-yourself" juice, glasses, cereals, coffee, tea, milk etc for the 10 or 12 guests, and then deal with the cooked breakfasts. The one member of staff was doing his best but it was not good enough - and a soggy white roll is not the same as an English Muffin (as described on the tatty typed menu). I have to say that the day after the breakfast was better organised. We were there for two nights but our rooms were not serviced. It would be difficult to find a parking place in anywhere near the hotel.

Plussat: Staff were helpful and willing to do things to improve your stay

Miinukset: There did need to be more thorough cleaning in the upper part of the hotel though the rooms themselves were clean. They are clearly in the process of updating.

Plussat: The breakfast was terrible,cold cooked breakfast,cold plates,rancid butter,uncooked toast.Fruit juice and milk left from the night before ? The Location of Hotel excellent .

Miinukset: We liked nothing about the Hotel,scruffy entrance,unclean bedding,unclean room,no service to room,frowsty smell throughout.Building work going on during the night,also unacounted VERY loud bangs during the night ? food terrible. Though new bathroom,the door did not fit,and bathroom not cleaned during our stay.Also half a toilet roll. Staff members had no people skills,in fact intimidating at times.
