great location helpful host needed decorating old furniture

The location was GREAT for accessing shops and restaurants! The host was really helpful, everything was perfect . I especially appreciated the assistance with directions to local attractions.

My room needed some attention. It was obvious that some decorating was needed. There was also furniture that could use replacing to freshen up the space. I was disappointed, REALLY.

shower door dirt stains

the location was pretty central, i guess. it did have easy access to amenities, or so they say.

the room, oh boy, it needed some serious help. the shower door was held together with tape, i am not kidding you. and the floor? dirt stains everywhere, it was quite an experience. i hightailed it out of there after one night, couldn't stand another minute.

convenient stay near the hoe

great location friendly staff fresh sheets

The location worked very well for exploring local attractions. staff were friendly and helpful upon arrival. the room was clean and prepared for my short stay. The sheets were fresh. i appreciated the central location, even if i just stayed one night.

I noticed the bathroom needed updating. The concertina door had tape. the toilet roll holder had filler that was not finished. i think attention to these small repairs would enhance the guest experience.
