dated roomnoise disturbance
I found that although the staff were friendly, the room i booked, a 'double room', felt quite dated. the mattress was really worn out. I could feel every spring. it definitely needs replacing. also, there was significant noise from outside, difficult to sleep soundly, worn out mattress
