General Cleanliness Issues
Attention to detail for basic cleanliness can be improved. Guests experienced minor annoyances like crumbs on the floor, watermarks in the bathroom, old information packs from previous guests left behind, and dressing gowns and light bulbs that need replacing.
negative:
Minor Room Issues
Some rooms can be a bit small, especially if you are taller. This can help lead to rooms becoming quite warm. Some guests find the toilets difficult to flush at times, which can be a bit embarassing. A few floors seem uneven as well.
