Great location and friendly staff. Pictures online looked great, however, our room was filthy and smelt weird. The sheets were clean thank goodness. Walls and windows were so very grubby with marks and sticky fingerprints, and skirting boards had a layer of dust and dirt. Corners of rooms had dust and hair. Drain in bathroom absolutely reeked so we covered with towels- looked like it was full of hair, grime and what looked like toilet paper. Seals around bath/shower were mouldy as was around the plug in sink. Dusty furniture. Lots of light coming in through the night so no good of you are sensitive to light when sleeping. Beds were hard as rocks- husband now had a sore back and my hips ache (we are in our 20’s). Unfortunately we will not be returning here in the future.
