很糟糕
Pros:

非常糟糕的酒店，糟糕的马桶，糟糕的半夜的火警警报，真是非常糟糕

Cons:

马桶真的非常糟糕，根本就冲不干净，需要两次，甚至三次，这是一个非常不好的体验

Pros:

Tesis gayet temiz, yataklar rahat , oda konforluydu , çalışanlar güler yüzlüydü , özellikle pınar ve suzieye teşekkür ederiz😌konum şehire uzak olmasına rağmen biz memnun kaldık

Cons:

Odada buzdolabı yoktu temmuz ayında kaldığımız için içeceklerimiz açısından küçük bir buzdolabı iyi olabilirdi. Bir de kaldığımız odanın camı açılmıyordu. Klima yeterliydi fakat yine de temiz havalandırma açısından odanın camı açılsa iyi olurdu. Fakat bizim odamızda öyle bir sorun vardı otelin diğer oda camları açılıyordu . Gelirken sorabilirsiniz .

Needs improvement
Pros:

It had a parking on the premises and service on the bar was quick.

Cons:

The AC in the room was quite loud and throughout the night I smelt cigarette smoke coming through the AC. Quality of the breakfast buffet was atrocious, the hashbrows tasted like they were fried the day before and left on the counter for the night - they were indelible and the rest of the food was not much better. The interior of the room was old tired and in need of TLC. A number of our lights in the room were broken.
The stay was incredibly overpriced as we paid £350 for a night and paid separately for parking outside of the hotel.

Pros:

Staff was nice and welcoming, beds comfortable

Cons:

Window has a gap when closed so wind still coming through and noise. Shower was not staying in place and kept moving around I think that needs to be sorted out. Around the window it was dirty. Breakfast only scrambled eggs would have loved a runny egg.
