Poor welcome on arrival. Receptionist was distracted talking to another customer that was already being attended to. The initial room allocated had a leaking toilet. The room I was moved to smelt of smoke and poor plumbing. Bed was uncomfortable and ac was too loud all night. Just overall a rubbish experience this time .
