This was a surprisingly lovely property. Given the extreme heat and lack of a/c, however, a ceiling fan would have been welcome. And their wires got crossed with respect to the need to pre-order the ‘grab and go’ breakfast. But really … a very nice place

We were given a room with a bath, which was brilliant, however there was a fire door just outside our room which banged loudly all night. The walls were thin and you could hear people talking and moving about in their room.
