Comfortable bed and friendly staff, but the room was disappointing, the service was not worth the price, and I am still
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming both on arrival and at check-out.

Cons:

The window handle was damaged, and there was no handle on the bathroom door. I was also disappointed by the lack of follow-up regarding my invoice. I requested it upon arrival, at check-out, and again by email, but more than a week later, I still haven't received it.

There was a renovation underway at the property, though it didn't really affect the accommodation.

Otherwise, a perfectly fine place.

Cleaning equipment could be cleared from the hallway after cleaning is finished.

Nothing else to say, unfortunately I didn’t get photos of absolutely everything
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

So our first room we got to had shit stains in the toilet bowl and honest was so much smaller than the photos made it look. The staff member at front desk didn’t seem shocked at all when we told her, we were swiftly moved to another room. On the way the lift was semi broken with wires hanging out, the ceiling in the hallway to the room was missing roof tiles and looked tatty as hell. The room was un vacuumed there was a socket loose on the wall with wires exposed. There were no spoons for the kitchen, the place that the fridge sat was completely rotten. The walls were paper thin and we were blessed with listening to the person next to us snore all night, the list could go on and on. Honestly the worst hotel I’ve been in and we’ve been to some grim spots around the world. To top it all they are totally playing the system as they’ve registered as “Permanently closed” on google so that no one can leave a review anymore. All you have to do is read the most recent once’s to understand and back up what we’re saying, this place should be condemned. They’ve also changed the name on the front door

Disappointed in facilities but great location
Pros:

Great location and easy parking very limited parking however

Cons:

Aircon in our 2 rooms didn’t work, very run down facilities, one of our rooms had a leak which meant wet carpet on the floor and also to get into the shower you had to leave the bedroom door open and then water from the shower leaked onto the carpet
