Rather dissapointing
Pros:

Close to my venue

Cons:

Water was brown in the bath…

Pipe of the hand shower in bath was broken and when I wanted to bath the water just gushed out from the hand showers pipe as it was torn.

Tiles were cracked next to the bath and bathroom floor….. very tacky!!

Mould on the ceilings in the bathroom and yellowish…
No dustbin to throw away coffee or tea bags…

Very disappointing to say the least
