Staff was nice

Cleanliness was an issue for sure. 28 degrees outside and the window wouldn't stay open so they gave us an empty bucket to prop it open? Was still boiling in the room. Booked to have 3 beds in the room it had 2 and then a camp bed, bit annoying when you pay so much for the room

The old beams and architecture
