"We did not manage to stay at this hotel for the whole of our booking, the room was dirty with ants all over the floor and suspicious stains all over the yellowed bedding. The shower didn't reach the holder and ran cold water only. Staff at the restaurant audibly laughed when we spoke to them and the food was limited and poor. As a 2 star establishment I was not expecting much but I do expect a clean room. "
