When i arrived at the property to check in at 2pm, the office was closed with signs saying call this number - which didn't pick up. I then had to press the video call button and wait to be told my room number and just go in the keys inside. My wife will be down in a few minutes with your Milk (which never arrived). It was very basic, the bathroom had no extractor and a shower that reminded me of a 1980's batch. Paint was peeling off around the window frames but the water was hot. The room itself was very modest yet comfortable for a one night stay. Ceiling fan didn't work and the "wardrobe" was tiny. I wouldn't stay again and would opt for a place that was maybe $20-30 more per night and get something much more modern.
