Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room wasn't particularly clean, and smelled funny. Basin was cracked, room decor / furnishings were very basic and tired looking. No mini bar in the room or anything complimentary just seemed cheap, even though absence of biscuits was attempted to be covered as woke. Also room temp (air con) was set as low as it could go but was still hot and stuffy. For the price, very disappointed.
