This property doesn’t deserve more than one star. It’s dirty, depressing and meets the minimum requirements. Do not stay here, keep searching before you book this almost 3rd world country lodging.

The hotel itself was fantastic and staff welcoming. Bed was comfortable and roon spaciaous with plenty of storage space. Down side, mould on ceilings, exhaust fan not working and full of dirt and dust, really difficult to fill the kettle for a cuppa.

There was literally no staff support and self checkin forced me to pay a 2nd time to get the key. Staff never replied to messages. Difficult to find room. Sewage smell in bathroom. Just outdated and tired. Overall a very poor experience.
