4/10 Fair

Pros: • helpful at check-in • super easy to get a cot added in (call up before you check-in to confirm) • Jet baths are great if youre lucky to get one of those rooms • extremely comfortable bed • 24/hr help if we needed it • room where we stayed was very private Cons: • Kettles (tried 4x different ones) - disgusting (calcified and metal flaking, old dirty water left at bottom with bugs in one of them) had to buy brand new kettles • No duvet covers (just a duvet squished between two sheets - Lazy) • Rooms smell musty and mildew - had to open up all the windows and air it out for 30 mins just to make it bearable • Water temps are either too hot or too cold - no inbetween • Water pressure goes from very weak to very strong constantly • Some lights don't work • literal poo stains toilets not cleaned after last occupants - unacceptable for the price when Mother in law has cancer and is imuno compromised

The property is undergoing renovations at the moment and the in-house restaurant is not available. We didn’t know this until check-in. The room was road facing/frontage, and traffic noise was ample. No lift/elevator available. Other than that, great stay. Would recommend.
