It was good for a last minute booking, so I wasn’t very picky. It was just little things: 1) TV wouldn’t work, 2) light flickering in the room.

Incredibly disappointed. Spa had faeces floating in it. The bathroom was unclean. The window sill had the word “yuck” written in the dust from a previous occupant.
