the contact phone number to advise of my late arrival did not respond; the expedia number similarly. I travelled for 2 hours uncertain whether I would have access to a room. the manager greeted me and gave me my key and made light of my concern. the room smelled musty and dirty. the kitchen drawers had crumbs and was grotty. The bathroom grouting was grotty. It was an old house-charming floors. the bed was really comfortable, clean sheets. I would not stay again.
