Property was closed and had been for some time. Doors locked and cobwebs at windows facing street. NO notification of this prior to arriving for our booked stay!

Tried to enter the hotel and the door was locked and boarded shut. Called 4 different phone numbers relating to BreakFree and NO ONE answered. We were stuck in the city with no accommodation and had to book somewhere else. Absolute joke.

Blood stains on the doner and on the floor and on the bed sheets, black mold under and on top of the shower waterproofing. Partner spoken to in a disgusting manner. Direct to the wrong carpark amd had to pay extra 100 dollars. Room was not disinfected before we stayed.
