Comfortable beds but pillows in this room need to be replaced. Room was clean with the exception of the floor which needed a wash. Tap water was not fit to drink. New restaurant owned by the hotel was refurbished but chef and wait staff couldn't get my eggs right even though mostly empty of customers.
