"The room was very tired, but we were not after a short stay."

4.0

Two big comfy beds. Lovely staff.

Still required a large deposit, after payment had already been made ? Why. Thin walls, stained bathroom ware, dirty towel.

"Basic stat"

8.0

I was disappointed as it said kitchinette and only provided a fridge, microwave, no utensils, plates, I had to use a plastic bag for a plate. I didn't have a table indoors only a bed. Otherwise it was very basic, clean but I wasn't convinced I had clean sheets! The price was very reasonable for what I had.
