Have stayed here on a number of occasions. Won’t be back after our last stay. Room hadn’t been cleaned properly. Half drunk water bottle in fridge, shampoo bottle had been opened and used but put back as if new. Hairs in the bedding. Told front desk and was offered a late check out. Enquired about staying another night and was offered a “discounted rate” which was still more expensive than online booking sites. Cleanliness was horrible.

The property is very well located. The layout and design is good. This property really needs to be cleaner. The room smelled of old cigarette smoke and was very must. There were hairs left in the bathroom. The Balcony balcony was in a filthy and unusable state.
