Great location, parking & shower.

We were allocated room 72 - as a budget studio -when our booking just said studio. It was dark, dingy with shabby bathroom furniture, and a bathroom window which opened wide onto the path outside, rendering it insecure and lacking any privacy. The wardrobe was so small, it would not close when clothes were put in it! When we challenged the receptionist we were told we could pay an extra huge sum for an upgrade - and she just blamed us for booking through a third party! She admitted it was small. I don’t blame her - but the photo on our app was of a different room.
