"The pictures in the internet were not a true reflection of what we experienced. Curtains were off the rail, flashing bulb in the bathroom & access/entry to the room was through a grim side door."

"Clean, modern, good value pricing. Would have liked a microwave oven (there was a cooktop). Thought the unit would have a washing machine but guess that's my booking mistake. The AC didn't quite keep up and an internet annoyance, shortage of silverware/glasses were small detractors."
