a friend of mine stayed there at least ten years ago and said it was `a bit of a dump'. That is not the case today, it was perfectly fine. My only issue was the bad luck a single room was not available therefore I had to pay for a double.

Not clean and not worth the value. Not getting refund for the two days we did not stay. Hard to contact via phone and staff have no idea how to respond.
