Staff left the room key in the letterbox and went home which is fine however they neglected to let me know which room I was allocated. So after a four hour drive I had to use my room key on each door. Very unimpressed!

The sheets had yellow stains and small red spots. I felt itchy as soon as I laid in bed. After checking under the blankets i found a lot of crumbs and debris. There was also human excrimentbon the shower wall in the bathroom. The room smelled very bad and I couldn't wait to check out.
