The rooms weren’t clean. The sofa bed had stains on it and it wasn’t made up. Had to go find someone to ask for sheets. The toilet is at end of room but to wash your hands you end up touching everything to then reach the bathroom. Really odd design. The shower had what looked like grease on the tap and sink very slowly drained. Good location. Staff were friendly enough but when I explained I wasn’t happy they just gave me an email address instead of trying to resolve issue.
