Disappointing to find a dirty facecloth on the microwave and lipstick on the wine glass in the room we had.

The fridge was not working. The buffet breakfast which we paid extra for was appalling, very low standard in the kitchen and I would not even consider dinner after that experience. View was very average as we were looking onto a carpark and building - then the lake. The block next door obstructed the view too.

The lights in the exterior didn’t work so it was hard to find the room. Then the first thing I saw was a can of raid, so my husband wouldn’t go under the sheets in the bed. The room was extremely small & not like the photos on the website. Very disappointing
