" Awful "

Rooms not clean. No shower gel provided... Is this the only hotel in the world that does not provide shower gel? When we arrived the place stank of cabbage! Grubby marks all over the doors. The sheets were clean but that's the only good thing about this run down hotel.

Advice: Don't stay at the Carlton
