Review Score: 4

Summary: Whilst the staff there were incredibly helpful, genuinely one of the nicest members of staff I've met at a hotel, the hotel itself is very poor. For some reason they insist on only taking cash due to a scam with cards, which feels far more like them trying to scam the taxman. The rooms themselves are very old, with no bathroom door, just a curtain. The shower door was hanging off and it looked like someone had tried to screw it back on, and was an absolute nightmare to open and close. The bedding also didn't seem clean.
