    The location was amazing, close to where we needed to be and the bottle of wine was a nice gesture. There were however a few issues that ensured we won’t be going back. Upon arrival there was no linen for the third bed which was a blow up mattress that wouldn’t stay inflated. The duvet did not have a cover and was covered in yellow stains, the rugs on the floor were dirty, the wall clock didn’t work, there was nothing to wash dishes with, the building smelt musty, the sheets on the beds were cheap and uncomfortable overall the room didn’t feel clean. Finally if you have a car consider not bringing one as parking in the area is a challenge. There is definitely room for improvement on customer service for this company and I got the feeling as a customer I was only a dollar sign.…
