Decent Stay. Some Minor Issues
friendly staff helpful staff good breakfast menu comfy bed bathroom light cracked toilet seat hard-to-turn tap
I found the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfast menu was good. It was also filling. The room was clean and had a comfy bed. Plenty of power sockets were available.
My bathroom light above the sink did not work. The toilet seat had a long crack. It was about 10cm long. The cold water tap was hard to turn.
