dirty ventsdated look
The cleanliness needs attention i think the carpets on the stairs were threadbare it was the first warning sign. The vents on the velux windows were filthy i was surprised by that. A fan by the bed was also very dirty i complained at reception about it all. The hotel feels dated uncared for and overpriced really
