I chose not to stay here because the whole atmosphere of the place was not pleasant. The whole property looks rough and I felt quite unsafe being there.

The property had everything I look for but ... I don't use plastic kettles & the cleaners use a product that leaves a mild smell in the unit, akin to a cheap perfume. I can't see why we need to fill our living spaces with the odour of artificial (chemical) scents - bottom line, they are toxic. What is wrong with fresh air ? Luckily it was mild and having windows open mitigated the use of such products.

It is generally clean, staff is friendly. The property is old, facilities is average. They don't have shampoo and shower gel, so just need to remember to bring them. surrounding not feel very secured, some random person just always stay outside, not fully fenced and exclusive to the guests stay.

The room is basic but served purpose for short overnight stay. The only seat needs a good clean or replaced, visible large stains & what looks like a cigarette burn mark.
