Disappointing
Shabby furniture, poor lighting, and all the light fittings were full of dead insects. The management staff were not at all helpful, all the information for the stay was via links to web pages that were not optimized for anything other than a pc, so very hard to read.The staff were condescending when I turned up at the office to ask about a key - mentioning they'd sent a message about all that, while I was driving.Further, on the eve of our second night, about 4 pm, we got a message from the stating 'it's nearly time for you to go'. So offensive and unprofessional.When my partner returned the key, the staff barely interrupted their conversation, and didn't even have the decency to ask how our stay was.We have stayed in many places and traveled extensively. For the price, this was a let down.
