Property was close to where we wanted to be. Beds were clean and fresh. Some maintenance issues in both rooms - ceiling fans were either like cyclones or hardly moving, only one bedside lamp was working in one of the rooms.Some attention to detail re cleaning was needed - old soap left behind, dirty cup in sink.

We could see the effort made to clean. But still we found mold in the fridge, window, wall etc. The drawers were not clean. So we didn't even open to use it. Toilet seat was coming off. Cold water tap was not working in the washbasin. White bed sheets and pillows looked neat. There were loud voices and moving sounds of tables and chairs even in the midnight and early morning hours like 1-2 am. This place has great potential if cleaned well and maintained.

It was pleasant and close to shops, plus a restaurant on site. but the room was not well cleaned and the towels were tiny and well worn. and the lace curtains were filthy. Perhaps this is because there are new people owning the place and it needs a lot of work.
