Hotel was fully booked. We were in a room outfitted for someone in a wheelchair. We have stayed in rooms like that before and all was well, but this one was different. The trash can foot pedal was cruddy and broken, a rack?/handle bar was missing from the wall (exposing sharp brackets), the tile on the bathroom floor had been sloppily painted over and was peeling off in spots, caulk was peeling off, etc. What all this peeling revealed were stains and discoloration underneath. It was yucky. When we attempted to share this feedback upon check out, the receptionist was quick to tell us that the damage was from wheelchairs. She acted like she did not care what we had to say. Regardless of the cause, the appearance was not acceptable. Otherwise breakfast was ok (but crowded) and we didn't experience noise through walls that others have reported. It was an ok stay overall.

The stuff there was really amazing and helpful. I did not eat at that facility so I don’t know how their food was but they could definitely use some upgrading and it’s very noisy there.

The staff was incredible for the entire time we stayed. So helpful and friendly! 5 star service! The hotel itself is dated and there was about an inch of dust under the clothes iron in our room, but the room was otherwise relatively clean.

It was in a side street which made it really quiet. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. The room was excellent, everything you could need from a comb to an iron and ironing board. Would definitely come back again.

What the website and hotel offered was an accessible room, what we got that was a room not as described by the website, the photos depicted large open room of high quality and what we were given was a dinghy room in desperate need of cleaning and refurbishing.
