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.

They did have a great self check in system and you can see some effort is going in to the place, however there is still a lot to do.
