• "Rooms were not great, bed was hard, and the bathroom was claustrophobic and really in need of an update, I didn't feel comfortable showering as the bathroom felt horrible."
• "The hotel downstairs is lovely however the deluxe rooms didnt quite seem deluxe. They were pretty run down and need updating for the rating that is given for the hotel i.e. stains all over walls, holes filled in, water stains on ceiling, hairs all over bed, blinds on windows worn."
• "Rooms in the first floor are very small and is not even enough for one person."
• "Tiny bed, only pull down blinds on windows so light shining through all night."
• "The rooms are a little tired."
