Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is very tired and in desperate need of an upgrade. Our room had a tiny little radiator with the windows letting in plenty of cold air. Disappointing for such a well known brand like Macdonald to let it's properties get like this. The food was excellent - which is always a reason to stay with MacDonald - but unfortunately, we won't be back to this hotel (not least until it's had a bit of tlc).
