Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very outdated and poor maintenance . Every tap had to be turned off extra tight to stop it from dripping .The grout in the shower needed fixing . The cupboards were so old that I didn’t even hang clothes in there because of the smell. The room was not clean, very thick layer of dust on the bedside shelves on the back of the tv, on table legs and ceiling fan. You had to get up on a chair just to turn the ceiling fan on . Fly screens had large holes in them . As for free wifi … it was only good if you were outside , inside the room it would keep disconnecting or not even connect at all. No dinnerware other than coffee cups, one teaspoon and one saucer . I could go on but just fair to say I won’t return.
