So much potential but second time staying and could not stop sneezing at the dust, different room, same problem, rooms need a deep clean, air con unit sounded like a jet plane taking off, same with the bathroom fan, had to turn off aircon to stop sneezing from the dust unless it was pulling in some kind of pollen from outside? Nice staff, comfortable bed. Small TV for size of room.
By far the best place I have stayed in, clean, well thought out, every detail considered, the little things that are always overlooked were provided. Umbrellas, a torch, welcome pack, we were thrilled with Aurora on George!
