Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Rude staff on check in as I had booked in my preferred name and got a lecture that it needed to match my ID. I have never had this problem anywhere else in the world. Room was noisy, tiny and not particularly clean ( mould in the shower). I had to carry my suit case up a flight of stairs after getting off the lift to reach my room. The hot breakfast was barely warm 30mins after the buffet opened. I would not stay here again.
