"Last minute booking, average hotel."

6.0

Stayed here last year for loop fest for one night was okay. Decided to book last minute for one night. Reception staff not great customer service not even a smile. Corridor smelt of bleach really strong. Shower head looks really old and rusty. Bed sheets smelt very clinical. Average room, very small tv Did have a fan, couldn’t open windows due to road noise. Nice building but needs work and updates
