Please offer the right ads and avoid misleading clients. Further when a client cancels work with the booking agent to have them receive their money.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort

Ok for one night stay..

To refuse one additional toilet roll as only one per day is issued is rather petty IMO. The room was spacious, however, the aircon from adjacent room was so noisy and vibrating that it majorly disturbed the quiet ambience of room. The bed was an old wire sprung mattress and was uncomfortable as were the pillows. Not ideal.
