the staff was cute and always ready to assist! the breakfast was quite good. the room included a fridge, tea kettle, toaster and microwave.

The shower dial for hot and cold was the wrong way. the spotlights in the bathroom looked like they'd been hammered into the ceiling i. e. the plaster around them was broken. there was an open electrical socket by the bed. It looked unsafe.
