Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Wouldn’t stay again. Paper thin walls and a bed that was abysmal. Noise all night from the road, helicopters in and out of the hospital and other guests (noting the latter is not the property’s fault). The fridge needed to be unplugged as it sounded as though it was bearly holding onto life.
