We didn’t have enough forks for 3 people.. Bathmat wasn’t replaced after they took it.. Not a fan of washing our plates and things in the bathroom.. would have loved a sink in the kitchen…compared to other places around and what you get we think this was high priced… But the place was clean and tidy ...
