Tawdry: both service, amenities and the building

The place was tawdry, the room, especially the en suite, was dirty, dusty and I had to unblock the toilet after use. The extract system had failed before we got there. I didn’t report any of this as I was there to go to a funeral. The fire alarm seemed to have mind of its own, going off spuriously for no apparent reason! Cooked breakfast was barely warm and I was kept waiting for toast. The morning alarm was from a refrigerated food delivery van, beautifully positioned outside our accommodation.

The whole hotel is in a poor condition and extremely tired, with one room having water coming through the ceiling while the room above was using the shower and another had parches of damp that had been painted over. Very basic rooms and basic food. Certainly wouldn’t recommend or go back
