Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived after check in desk was closed, however they contacted us prior to arrival to confirm arrival time and take payment details. Upon arrival we heard abusive screaming coming from a room 2 doors down. The screaming continued and was constant for the next 30mins. Feeling very unsafe we got in our car and drove off to get away from the noise. We called reception to alert them to what we were experiencing and they replied with "oh its one of the rooms the police have rented, ill check the camera and if hes come out of his room ill let them know amd theyll come pick him up" We didnt hear back from reception with regards to the outcome but upon returning to our room found it very unsettling trying to sleep with a constant sound of someone dry reaching as if they were trying to vomit all through the night. Very unpleasant experience. No follow up from reception either. Wont be staying here again.

We had an issue with the entrance door. We shut & locked it at night but it was ajar in the morning (nothing missing). We then shut it and it was opened again by 2 strangers who appeared to be "opening the wrong unit". I tried to report it to reception upon checkout but the lady was foreign and didn't appear to understand what I was saying.
