Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The old adage “you get what you pay for” is so true in this particular instance. The room was tiny, the bed terrible (we kept rolling into the middle) and it wasn’t easy to get out of, there was no shelving to unpack your folded clothes, the kitchenette was lacking (I had to use a cup to eat my cereal), no light in the kitchenette nook, the shower tiles had mould in the grout, this would have been OK for an overnight stay only

Bed very hard. Had to look for power point near bed and found it was filthy behind and under the bed side tables. Not worth what we paid. Expensive price for a budget type room. Won’t be recommending it to anyone

Clean and comfortable

Very clean and a comfortable room. The only drawback was that noise came through from the TV in the adjoining unit very easily, which was a real issue as the guy obviously fell asleep and left a DVD on loop til 3am.

Never again

We had two rooms. My mum had a cockroach crawl on her during the night. Both rooms took me back to living in the 70's with the tiles, decor & woollen blankets...REALLY. Rooms were very small but ok for the night only.

Room was tiny & so dated ( it was awful ). Lighting was inadequate (not working). People smoking outside their rooms seeps into other rooms, so the smell of cigarettes was evident all the time. Service was friendly enough but it needs a major makeover! New bed linen & towels wouldn't go astray either. It has potential.
