I think this hotel is over due for a refresh, for the money paid for the night the room and facilities left room for improvement.

The listing promised a tennis court, but it was not available.
The food at the restaurant was very limited.
The condition inside was clean but very old and not maintained well.
The view from the room is very bad and not recommended.

Could do better.
The pre online book in is frustrating and makes the front of house service non existent. It's nice to do this at reception and meet the front of house staff. Pillows were very poor, I woke with a very sore neck.
