Dirty carpets, mould present and poorly trained reception staff. Had 2 bookings, and they couldn’t combine the 2 together and made me pay the deposit twice 🙄 They couldn’t secure a booking at a neighbouring restaurant, yet we were able to get a table by going there direct. Lastly, they entered the room despite us having the privacy sign.
