6/10

Nice old building, friendly helpful staff, good leisure facilities. I know it's not easy but it needs some money spent on it cos it's a bit tired. Had to change rooms cos tv not working. Only one chair in each room for two people? Pay £12.50 extra for a cooked breakfast which is not kept very warm and served on stone cold plates. Expected better.
