Worn down rooms

Location is decent, but hotel rooms are old and very worn, with lots of stains. Cleaning could be better.

Supermarkets and shops are walking distance, also a variety of food options. The people at the front desk could be trained better, and the online system that offered to check out virtually was not good. It still required me to go to the front desk and talk to the grumpy woman to finish the check out process.

The room was miles away from reception and from the lift. The man who checked us didn’t explain things properly and we ended up having to carry our suitcases up stairs. There were full rubbish bags all around the site. No information regarding breakfast or holding deposit. Man on reception sullen and didn’t seem to know what he was doing.
