Disliked: Cleanliness
Our room had dirty stains on the wall above the couch. We were left no sheets or blankets for the pull out couch. We had stayed previously and it was great. Our stay this time was less than average. We wont be back.
Likes...Location, cleanliness...sky channels...service...bed
Improvements...aircon ineffective due to unit above cupboard...armchair (worn) and appliances (old) could do with updating
Check in process was efficient and front desk staff was lovely. however room itself was in poor condition- had an awful smell, dirty towel left on the bathroom floor (presumably hadn't completed cleaning yet?), not enough towels for the three guests we had booked for. Could have been better.
