You have to pay extra to park your car here.
If you plan on driving to this hotel then you should be warned that an extra charge is applied to guests who want to use the car park. Management should really include car parking fees in the room rates.
negative:
Age is definitely taking its toll on this hotel.
Rundown and worn-out are just a couple of ways to describe this hotel, which has all the hallmarks of a hotel in dire need of maintenance. The carpets are worn out, fittings like door handles and coat hooks are loose, and many rooms have a nasty smell about them.

Rooms are not being kept clean enough
Housekeeping are shirking their duties at this hotel and really need to do a better job. You might be greeted by all manner of things when you check in, from rotting food left the fridge to mould in the bathrooms.
