    We had to wait another hour before we can occupy the room, as it wasn't cleaned yet.

    Very disappointed with the cleanliness of the bathroom…and the state of the shower..

    The bed was very comfortable

    The bathroom wasn’t particularly clean and the shower was terrible.

    Stay here only if you can't find a different option.

    Location is convenient, although it's also why it's a bit noisy, being on the main road. Shower pressure was good.

    Starting with the staff, this wasn't a great stay. Trying to check in, she could barely be bothered to talk to me, even answering a phone call mid conversation and didn't return to me. There was no hotel info in our room, so I wasn't even aware there was a restaurant on site until the next day, or what amenities the complex had. The room, filthy, literally dust and hair everywhere but mostly in the bathroom...which has rotting boards due to the shower water spilling out everywhere. It felt like the room was cleaned then sealed for 6 months. Comfort didn't exist, in our room anyway, no couch, and power outlets only in the kitchen. Also no cloths or tea towels to deal to our dishes. Small things but for the price we paid I expected more attention to detail. While there I had 3 people ask me on their arrival where the reception is, it's not easily signposted.
