Our room was clean, the beds were comfortable There was nowhere to hang clothes, only one chair , no spoons or plates. In the morning when we left just after 8am, the office was closed and could not find a way out. If there had been a fire,cwe would not have known where to go, so all in all, not a great experience. We would not go there again
