Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
small room bathroom basin
The staff was helpful enough .
I found the room quite small and somewhat rundown. The bathroom basin was out of order and this was communicated via a written notice only. No discount was offered for this inconvenience. It was disappointing given I was traveling with my family.
