Woeful check in, lumpy old mattress, not great tbh

Absolutely shocking check in, ignorant member of staff told us to wait & then he just walked off. After a little while a different member of staff saw us standing there & came over. She could see how aggravated we were, offered us a free drink each & tried to offer good service, but it was a very poor check in. They clearly skimp on the maintenance too, lots of bodging in the room we were in.
