Stingy
I was surprised that there was no electric blanket on the bed. Room was cold and had a small heater. Night stall in the room was disconnected. No hand towels, flannels in bathroom. No complimentary biscuits.
No SKY tv

Pros - Quite spacious. The only one around that would sleep a famiy of 5 in one unit (that didnt rely on a foldout). Also one of the best around for price
Con - a bit run down and you pay for what you get

Very tired. Mould in bathroom unclean hand basin. No milk no dish cloth or tea towels. No face cloth. We got an electric blanket when we insisted it was freezing and another heater

Step back in time!
Apartment was a bit tired and dated. Not well equipped, had a kitchen but no forks, had to ask for them. Very limited pans. No washing up liquid, tea towels and to cap it all no can opener. Upon opening the fridge there were pieces missing so were unable to store anything in the door. Would have rather booked a place with no advertised kitchen, so I knew I would have to eat out.

Was good for 1 night stay. King size bed was comfortable. Room was spacious & clean. Shower door did not fully close, fridge door may need a new seal? Good value for money.

Needs maintenance and service checkup
Needs maintenance and kitchen sink tap was incorrectly labelled so hot water came out of the cold tap - extremely dangerous! No hair dryer, no sharp knife but cockroaches in the bedroom and tv remote was randomly programmed so on/off was mute!

The room was okay. The shower was really low on the wall, so doesn’t help if you are tall like me. There was no fan in the bathroom so everything fogged up. The toilet cistern was dripping all night. TV reception was pixelated on all channels. The heater had a broken stand.

The property seemed nearly empty, yet we were given a room in a cold dark corner, next to the skip. The condensation was impressive. There was not enough cutlery for the number of people the room catered for.
As at 6 am, the looked door popped open of its own accord!
Unsafe.
Stay somewhere else.

Did not expect to see at least four shopping trundlers and a couple of road cones out of our window on the property. Property needs a general update. Staff friendly. Conviently situated, a walk to town and transport.
