The room smelled of faeces. We didn’t initially notice as the smell of cheap cleaning product was overwhelming to begin with, but later on it became very obvious. Seems like a fairly big deal to miss by the cleaners.

Staff were friendly and fresh towels and room serviced daily. Small room without natural lighting, badly in need of renovation. Dissapointed with poor facilities especially compared to booking, different room we had, when we stayed last year. Mould in shower, badly leaking spraying shower and hand basin taps, no lighting other than a switch near bathroom door across room from bed ... not even a bedside light; and ancient noisy aircon with no remote. Room certainly was not worth price we paid.
