Peppers was close to town however that's the only thing it has going for it. Our room was a shoebox which wasn't what I expected for how much we paid, and I think the photos do a good job of masking this. The bathroom exhaust was broken so our small room was also dank, damp and had black mould growing on the ceiling and between the tiles in the bathroom. The bathroom door had water damage and peeling paint. When this issue was raised with reception they offered to change our room but then quickly realised they couldn't do that as they must have been fully booked out for the weekend. Instead they said housekeeping would check on it (in a tone that suggested they didn't believe us), and subsequently nothing was done about the mould or the exhaust. Would not come back here, you're better off staying in a hostel.
