"Disappointing stay. Why offer a kitchenette in rooms with a hob if you’re not putting cook ware and utensils in the room. Even had to ask for dinner plates. Hotel has potential but in desperate need of some investment. Carpet in particular needs replacing as was significantly damaged in my room. ..."
