e room

Friendly owners. Nice clean room. Great service. Unfortunately the internet was terrible and there were no coverings on the bathroom windows. This meant that the spotlights on the buildings behind shone into the unit. We had to keep our bathroom door shut to block out the bright lights. The was no air conditioning in the room so the room was very hot at night.

Only recommendation would be to upgrade the sheets to cotton for comfort. The polyester sheets were very scratchy feeling so the second night we slept on top of bed cover. Apart from that the unit had everything we needed. Extremely clean and well presented. Thank you

No human contact even though we called the day before and told we could drop a bag before checkin. Which we said we would be there at 11:30am no one was there the sign said open 8 til 8. Then when our card was incorrect they rang and told us they were going to give our room away. We gave them a new number over the phone. Then they left the room open for us. No human contact
