Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The reviews online were great but upon arrival, the room was so dirty especially the bathroom! Mould every where. The toilet seat was broken, no locks all been removed. Cigarette burns on the bedding. Toddler high chair covered in mould. Curtain backings mouldy. Ripped stained carpet. The room door only locks from the outside so not child friendly as they can escape.. room service did replace towels daily but that was it. Bed was made at the top but not the sheets?( we did not expect them to be made but thought it was odd the top was dont but sheets all hanging? It was all very strange. Receptionist did not seem to care when i pointed things out. I sent an email to the accommodation with photos and did not get a response.
