+ Great value for money on the breakfast. Bathroom was newly refurbished and clean
− Evening menu was limited or Indian which kids wouldn’t eat. Rooms dated and there were stains on the bed sheet and towels. Also nowhere in the description does it mention that it is a haunted hotel so my wife was paranoid all night and didn’t sleep, the bed was also uncomfortable and no staff when we checked out
