Reasonable rooms but avoid the restaurant

Previous experience with Green King properties has been negative, so I was initially impressed when checking in. All reception staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was fairly spacious with a sofa on one side. The room was quite clean, as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a large TV. The shower has good pressure and maintained a fairly constant temperature. The main negative was the extremely hot temperature; there was only a small fan to help with this. The window barely opened, which exacerbated the problem. The restaurant, however, was awful. Firstly, the table was sticky which makes you doubt the general hygiene within the establishment. Then, you're forced to download yet another app to order food, or join a long and not moving queue at the bar. There was no cutlery in the self serve tray, so they had to be requested from staff, these were dirty when brought to the table. The quality of the food was below average; chips stick together, too much use of the microwave, etc.

the mattress had been run over by a track for a year and put back on the bed. as for the shower I can’t even use word to describe it. How hard to have a decent bed and shower which is clean a usable?? Specially at £100 a night.
