The hotel was run down definitely did not feel like a 5 star when we walked into the room. The room had a spiders on the wall, the air con wasnt working, the bathroom and windows were cracked, paint was peeling. We then had to move rooms due to the air con not working, we then ordered room service and it arrived at our door when we told reception that we would come and collect it. However the customer service was very good and they helped us with all the issues we experienced. The breakfast quantity for a £26 meal was unsatisfactory the portions were very small, we also had to wait 10 mins before we could sit down for breakfast and no one came over to apologise or say that we will be with you soon, i think your staff are overworked and should be recognised for their patience in helping unhappy customers.
