Parking was convenient. Kitchen was basic. No staff were on-site after 7pm. We asked for clean towels and came home at night to find the dirty towels still, even though we had been told we would have clean towels left. The room had not been serviced. Rubbish bins were not emptied. There were two doors. The door to outside would not lock from outside. The door that went into an inside passage was badly fitted and the room was not very secure. We had trouble with that lock too. The room smelt musty and I found it hard to breathe at night and did not sleep well. Sadly my clothes picked up the stale smell. The price per night was exorbitant for such poor quality accomodation. We will not go there again.
