Stairs to hell,...

The location it is amazing, the room it is shocking, small noise bed, holes on the wall, dirty carpet along the hall,...Better to stay on a, backpackers for that money. Even coffee, was not right, at the bistro. Expensive for what it is. That hotel must be at the same level of the oaks, stamford,...etc...

Upon arriving to room, it contained a single bed which was not what was advertised. Room was dark, dingy out dated, holes in walls to top it off bed was covered in stains. Hotel Manager was very helpful and arranged other accomodation
