I liked the efficient friendly reception on arrival. The value for money of the room. I did not like the fact that there is no lighting on the desk while using my laptop. I did not like that the shower is not a proper shower, i.e. it is accommodated in the bathtub.

Distinction Coachman was old and dated. Room carpet was rippled and a very old couple were given an upstairs room where there is no lift. I had to help carry their bags staff didn't want to know about it. Everything is rundown. Restaurant and cafe bar were closed more often than open.
