DO NOT SLEEP HERE

Dirty stained pillowcases knife marks all over the side the bed table, filthy bathroom, wallpaper that was missing in areas, to top it off. The restaurant closed before Covid so some three years or more ago one would call that false advertising.2 too expensive at $176 per night for nothing really out of this world except the fact it was disgusting.

The room smelled of faeces. We didn’t initially notice as the smell of cheap cleaning product was overwhelming to begin with, but later on it became very obvious. Seems like a fairly big deal to miss by the cleaners.

Staff were friendly and fresh towels and room serviced daily. Small room without natural lighting, badly in need of renovation. Dissapointed with poor facilities especially compared to booking, different room we had, when we stayed last year. Mould in shower, badly leaking spraying shower and hand basin taps, no lighting other than a switch near bathroom door across room from bed ... not even a bedside light; and ancient noisy aircon with no remote. Room certainly was not worth price we paid.
