It was the full ash tray buckets outside each room which were smelly and unsightly. I also did not like the self check in service. I am sure this would be handy out of hours but there is NO reception desk / facility in business hours. Luckily there was a staff member nearby when we arrived and he gave us a key to our room. Just felt a bit odd. The room was clean but felt plain and a tad ordinary. Bedding was arranged in a strange manner. Very basic. Only one side of the electric blanket worked on the queen bed staff were apologetic when we told them as we were leaving. Overall, an average accommodation rating.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room had a slightly unpleasant smell - noticeable whenever we entered. Jo towels - had to ask for them. No soap in the shower gel dispenser in shower No extra pillows - had to ask for them. A digital reception device for check in - only worked in part. Had a pin number to enter the room - sometimes that failed and if you entered it again then the system required a stand down before you could re-enter. The staff person who entered our room legitimately had terrible B/O and smoker's breath. It was sufficient to linger in the air after he went outside. He also stood and openly read our open travel folder on the bench which contained personal info - even after I said to him "please don't look/read- that is personal/private". We survived ok but would not stay there again.
