Service good but condition of room was not 5*
The service was good but overall condition of the room and hallway was not what you would expect for a 5*. We had a coffee stain on corner of TV unit and multiple cobwebs on ceiling. There was also a random bit of masking tape hanging from our curtain. The hallway around the lift needed a good hoover the entire time we were there. The room was dark with a lot of notable paint chips. Breakfast was nice and staff at restaurant and reception were attentive but general condition let the hotel down.
