The outside of the hotel was impressive, and in its day would have been an outstanding place to stay.
But that day wasn't in September 2025.
Like any old establishment that looks good from the outside on the inside it has grown tired and weary looking. Such a big building and some 150 rooms to offer.
The staff were friendly and helpful, but the lift near the reception area was broken, and had been broken for a number of days. The staff maintenance lift was the alternative. At least it worked.
The long corridor on the second floor leading to the allocated bedroom, was a mishmash of skirting board badly joined together with liberal dollops of polyfiller between the joints. A skilled job it was not.
I can only assume the colour of the corridor walls was chosen on price, or by somebody who really shouldn't have been allowed to use that green by the company’s design office.
Make sure you are not allocated a bedroom with the whine of the heating (or hot water) system coming from below in an inner courtyard of the hotel. A closed window only muffled the unpleasant frequency, at least it ended around midnight.
The bad news was that it fired up again around six in the morning, with an evermore annoying whine, well I suppose everyone was glad of the hot water for a shower. If you are a six-hour sleeper, the timings would work fine.
Food was plentiful, both for the evening meal and breakfast. Though the coffee from the machine was poor.
Stay there again?... never say never...
