Classic Room, 1 Queen Bed · 2 Adults · 2 Nights

We had a lovely time at Craig's Hotel. The only thing about our room was the air-conditioning wasn't working and there was no fan. I spoke to reception and we were quickly offered another room, with working air-conditioning and with a balcony. It was lovely! 💖💖💖 The only thing that needs attention is the mini fridge is leaking water inside. l forgot to mention it on the day we left. 🤦‍♀️
