Underwhelming Stay with Noticeable Flaws
mould ceiling tiny shampoo
My stay wasn't the best. The room was quite tired. The bathroom ceiling had mold. We got only two tiny bottles of shampoo for three adults and a packet with just two biscuits. Finding someone at check-in and check-out also proved to be a challenge.
