Just Average Stay

strong smell peeling wallpaper

The location suited my needs. It was close enough to the attractions.

The room smelled strongly of dogs. There was a notable lack of cleanliness everywhere. The wallpaper was peeling and some mold was visible in the bathroom. I don't think the room had been properly cleaned before my arrival.

helpful owner clean room strong smell carpet condition

the owner was friendly and helpful during check-in. the family room was big and clean, it had everything my family needed. the kids enjoyed watching the seagulls from the top floor window. i'd recommend it for families.

there was a strong smell of damp dogs upon entering. the carpet had bits on it and the shower had black mold. some wallpaper was peeling, and there was damp in the bathroom. the coffee and tea tray was sticky.
