Emerald Hotel

Emerald Hotel

4/10 Poor
"Place has become run down since we last stayed 5 years ago. Some lights did not work, sliding door stuck, odd assembly of cutlery and plates, how to tell who staff were because there was no uniform, staff at from desk had heads stuck in phones. Sad state compared to our first visit which was great."
