Ok stay
Pros:

The staff on arrival, were friendly and helpful. The food and the service in the restaurant was 10/10 couldn't fault it.

Cons:

No extraction fan in the bathroom. If there is it doesnt work
Dust on mirror
Only venetian blinds so if your a light sleeper you will be awake early if the loud humming sound doesnt wake you up first.
Metal bed frame that squeaks with every movement.
Stains on the carpet but I get this is general wear and tear.
