Wenever could get the wifi to work and there were not extra pillows or blankets for the sofa bed (we arrived quite late and just wanted to go to bed). It was mostly clean, but the room set up was odd. The staff was amazing and helpful!

The concept of the property is a good idea but it is severely outdated (80s). I booked two rooms for my family while visiting for a special occasion and although there was enough room to sleep, the quarters were very tight. Also, in one of the rooms there was a dust mite crawling on my pillow while lying in the bed and we saw another one on the dirty towels we set aside on the floor to prepare for checkout. I informed reception of the bug issue and she was extremely apologetic and advised she would share the picture of the bug with management.
