Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It took three tries to almost get the correct room. First room was the wrong allocation. Second room smelt like human poo. Third room was the wrong bed size, dusty, dirty, mouldy, dirty carpet. The bathroom had toothpaste left stuck to the bench from a previous guest. The entire stay was terrible. The shower was like warm and I felt dirty after my shower. Don't stay here.
