We have stayed here a number of time before and enjoyed it. This time though the place looked tired. In the bathroom one of the shower heads was loose so it shot water all over the bathroom. One of the taps was loose too. The fridge didn’t keep the items cold. What frustrated us the most was on Friday morning at 9.10am the cleaners started cleaning the hallway and rooms beside us and then yelling down the hallway to each other. Really made our sleep in so special! You would think with check out being 10am they wouldn’t start cleaning until after this so there guests could enjoy a nice sleep in. Just wasn’t luxury experience it used to be, especially for the amount you pay.
