"The room was pretty clean and the staff were friendly. However, no breakfast available despite it being listed at booking. Toilet was loosely secured, shower was lukewarm, coffee maker in room was obviously not used for a while. The bathroom light and fan were motion sensor activated and couldn’t be disabled and so this was annoying in the middle of the night. It was ok but I wouldn’t stay here again."
