The allocated room at checkin had scaffolding erected outside the 2 windows. We could see workmen on the platforms and hear talking. I asked for a room change and was given another room. On first umpression the rooms are dated and the matresses are sagging but comfortable. Service at breakfast was awful we were asked 3 times did we want tea/coffee and toast but it never arrived. I complained to reception and Breakfast the second morning was better and service had improved also.
