The people downstairs in front of the hotel was very noisy and was revving cars at 2am in the morning and using the road as a race track no security to prevent this to happen. Will never see me again and wont suggest anyone to stay there.!!!

It was filthy, i was told the room had just been cleaned , clean sheets but thats all , in bathroom shower screens and wall tiles where not washed , floor had dirt in corners where it hadn't even been tried to clean . Lock on sliding door was broken so a make shift lock was on door stopping outsiders coming in , curtains where so old the backing was coming off which allowed the light straight out side the door come in . The picture did not match the room i was given. It would help if they put a big sign on door askinf guess to not let the door to go in or out after hrs the doir slam as you can hear it all night , i rang said after hrs number to complain about noise as the paper work said to and was told to call the police.
