Room cleanliness fine, bathroom sink almost didn't drain, drip after using shower, large bath towel but such a strong smell of vinegar I used a hand towel. Faulty air-conditioning unit made awful noise all night. I arrived late and assumed it was pipes (as I didn't turn the unit on) - so didn't rectify til the morning. Staff all lovely, exactly the location I needed and decent breakfast.
