Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Was allocated a room that already had a guest in it. When I was given an alternative room the hallway immediately outside stank of people smoking weed. The curtains didn’t cover the whole window so had street light shining on the bed all night. Shower gel was empty and wasn’t topped up on request. Breakfast was good
