Hardly any utensils.( 2 knives, one fork, 2 spoons) Cupboard doors wonky. No WiFi? The grounds were not tidy. Gardens and grassed areas had not been cut for months. The main manager was always helpful but generally others not professional.

Craig

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Pretty rough

Stayed 2 nights they did not clean my room and had to be called back to make the bed. They took 4 times the accommodation. The TV was buggy and Glitchy. Probably won't stay again. The bathroom window was not private enough and had no curtain. The room was cold and the heater did not work. It looked like someone else had left their. ShamPoo and moisturizer in the shower and they left it for clients to use. When I needed a receipt when checking out, nobody was around to sort it
