adequate stay, but some issues

dated decor steep bar prices
the location was pretty central, right where i needed to be.
The room decor felt dated. It could use some refreshing. also, the wall under the window looked like it needed some repair and redecoration, it wasn't pretty. the bar prices were a bit steep. I thought £49+ for a few drinks was excessive.
