There was no wi fi coverage in the room. The toilet plumbing made a weird noise thru the night until we turned the water off. The dead tree by our car park had long grass and litter beside it.

The facility is undergoing major works (two storey addition, with scaffolding). My room (ground floor) was nicely renovated, the kitchette was odd - cups and plates at floor level on shelf (I literally resorted to a bowl for my Uber eats as I could not get to the undelying plates), and little bench space. Had to rinse my dishes in the bathroom basin. Wifi was very poor strenght.
