Room was fine. Bathroom dated and seals in shower needed replacement. Beds were very comfortable with immaculate sheets and the towels were also sparklingly clean. However the walls are very thin. We were woken in the early hours by one neighbor and at 6 30 by another one.we have stayed on 3 occasions but I don't think we would stay again

Patricia

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and well laid out. Had three beds which was great for us but we only had one blanket (stored in closet) as bed was made with very light covers. Shower and toilet in separate rooms was great so multiple people can get their stuff done. Three beds but only one blanket - why? Only other complaint was that the outlet I used, although I turned it on, did not charge my phone overnight - my fault as I should have checked that it was charging.
