single glazingmusty smell
the room was FREEZING. single glazing exists and the heating I could not regulate. it is automatically set to give warmth only in the mornings and evenings. I needed an electric heater because it was very COLD in the room. the room smelled quite musty also, because the rooms are old and everything is covered in dust and old carpet. REALLY.

i had a twin room. the receptionist on the 22nd of august 2024 was amazing. she was really helpful. parking was really good too.
the twin room wasn't really up to expectations. one of the beds was across the bathroom door. i had to walk round the bed. decor could do with a little spruce, it's a little tired.
