I think this hotel is over due for a refresh, for the money paid for the night the room and facilities left room for improvement.

Could do better.
The pre online book in is frustrating and makes the front of house service non existent. It's nice to do this at reception and meet the front of house staff. Pillows were very poor, I woke with a very sore neck.
