Cleanliness needs more attention to detail. Plug hole cover broke resulting in excess water in shower tray and someone else’s hair in the shower plug hole. Fan dusty so did not use and all surfaces should be wiped over

3 night stay

Room very cramped, fan not adequate and no air conditioning. Small cramped bathroom only had showerhead so very difficult to shower without wetting hair. Floor seemed to have problems as very soft underneath vynal. Only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel for us as couple. Didn’t have room cleaned after first night but asked for in second day. Didn’t changed towels nor sis they even clean the bathroom sink! Just about changed the quilt cover Overall not a good place to stay we nearly even didn’t stay the last night! Drinks are very expensive we had a large and small lime and soda and cost nearly £8 Would never recommend this place! Good 20 minutes walk into Newbury
