Disliked: Amenities
Room - two light bulbs had blown and not been replaced. There were anys coming from the bathroom to the kitchen. No complementary offering of coffee unless i wanted decafe. Plenty of tea or hot chocolate. No complementary milk. There was however someones half 2ltr bottle of milk and apple juice in the fridge. Not sure why these were left behind. Bathroom - spa bath did not work. Wasn't a requirement but more of a luxury provided and not in working condition. Some mold growing around the top of the bath that needs some attention. Bedroom - no net curtains in the back bedroom. Had to keep the cutains closed in darkness. Would have been nice to open them but not a major inconvenience Only had one interaction with staff while asking for another rubbish bag. No staff at check in or check out.
