My husband was locked in the bathroom due to a faulty door lock and had to be freed by staff. I also reported a wall light fitting hanging loosely from the bedroom wall. Very worrying lack of maintenance and safety checks.

Hotel is situated close to most shops. The staff were really pleasant and helpful. The room, although clean, looked very tired and could do with some simple repairs and some upgrading.
