Claudia

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was totally disgusting. It was so dirty, the walls were sticky, the floor was sticky, the shower glass was milky with grime...all round, awful. It was a huge safety concern as there were shower caps covering all the fire alarms. I was recovering from an operation and under doctors' advice was told I should not stay there. I only stayed for one night of my booking and had to find other accommodation. They would not refund me and because of that I did not actually cancel my booking because I did not want them having the benefit of renting to someone else.
