3 / 5
Hi There,
staff were excellent, flexible and helpful - well presented etc.
The toilet (on the first day) had a bit of a smell, but otherwise everything cleaned and nice.
Some of the cabinetry within the room is showing quite a bit of wear and tear, including the carpet etc. Probably a sign of age.
All in all a good stay thanks, but just wanted to provide a bit of feedback.
Thank you.
