May Have Been Nice, 30+ Years Ago

We made the most of our overnight stay as it was a surprise birthday treat for my wife.
The hotel is in a pleasant spot and looks fine from the outside.
Inside is another story. After waiting at the un-attended arrival desk for 5 minutes, I was expecting to be greeted by Basil Fawlty. the young man who greeted us was polite (but could have been Basil's grandson!).
We were shown to our 'Superior Room'; which it wasn't ... It had furniture that looked like it had been salvaged from the Titanic; creaking, or with doors hanging off their hinges. All appliances were dated. The fixed radiators did not get warm during our time in the room. There were 2 supplementary, electric heaters; which probably explained why.
It was a good job that there were 2 people staying in the room as, if a person was in the Bathroom and attempted to use the Brass Door Handle to get out, it would come away in their hand with the sound of the Knob at the other side of the door, thumping to the floor !!
I won't go on ...
The only positive, was that the evening meal was edible.
Like many hotels in which we have stayed, around the country, this place needs many thousands of pounds spent on it, to bring it, at least into the 20th Century.
Sadly, in the current state, we find ourselves; this is very unlikely to happen.
