Woeful check in, lumpy old mattress, not great tbh

Absolutely shocking check in, ignorant member of staff told us to wait & then he just walked off. After a little while a different member of staff saw us standing there & came over. She could see how aggravated we were, offered us a free drink each & tried to offer good service, but it was a very poor check in. They clearly skimp on the maintenance too, lots of bodging in the room we were in.

Staff lovely, room horrible

Room was warm and stuffy couldn’t get good sleep because of these conditions. Loud neighbours in a quiet section didn’t help either. Our room was pretty dirty.
