One and only!?

We stayed here as a last minute decision. The establishment was probably a conference centre but now largely unused. Room was comfortable and quite large but surroundings were in need of some TLC. . It was close to some good restaurants in the nearby shopping centres. I t felt a bit spooky being the only guests in the wing but could be pleasant if the place was full.
