Stuart

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The rooms are very dated and lack airflow, the room was messy, an old blanket on the beds caused itchyness and I felt like I was getting bites on my legs and body. The bathroom had no fan, the bathroom floor had water run the full way across, no actual shower area. Fan was covered in dust and I would not turn it on as it was layered on the fan blades. Staff reception staff were very lovely, and the on site parking was appreciated. Overall if I had known what I was going in to then fine, but I felt the photos did not match the property and the cancellation policy did not allow for me to have a change in mind.
