The tv in the room didn’t work and only half the dishes on the menu were available even though it was a small basic menu and it was not near alternative places to eat so this was not good

When we arrived at the hotel we were advised there was no restaurant or bar open. We should have been advised in advance. The only other pub in the town was also closed.

Fake tan stains were in the bath from previous guest. Hot water took almost 10mins to come on. Outdoor had a few broken planters and weeds coming through the floor. Kitchen was closed for maintenance so there was no food options until breakfast the next day. I could hear people going in and out their rooms until about 2am and then starting again at 6am. I have stayed previously and was impressed but this time just felt like lack of care was given.
