The sink was cracked in several places and the toilet didn’t flush properly. We had to lift the lid on the toilet tank a few times to adjust the mechanism inside so the water would stop running.

We had a room with the panoramic view, which was amazing. The room itself you can tell that they need some desperate updating and renovation. As well the carpets in the hallways. Other than that a good one night stay.
