I was somewhat dreading staying at this hotel because of some of the previous reviews (I was travelling with a group and had no choice about where I stayed), but it was much better than I was expecting. Yes, the decor is a little dated, but you're only staying for a couple of nights, not moving in, so I can't really see why that should be a reason to deduct points.
