I understand there are renovations but it could have been done a whole lot better. Reception was stuffed into a little room. There were bags of dirty linen left lying around everywhere for people to trip on. The parking was very tight and limited. The first room was not cleaned properly, dust and mould on everything, bed not made correctly, crockery misplaced. Cobwebs handing from ceiling. We were moved into a newly renovated room. We had one knife, no plates, heaps of glasses. The tiny fridge had no ice compartment. No microwave, a toaster but no crockery or cutlery. Parts of the room were dusty. We did get a service everyday, that was nice.
