Nothing
Where do I start! The whole place was dirty, broken light, bed and ripped net curtains. On arrival manager couldn't find safe key even though I'd emailed in advance requesting a safe. Manager is cross between Manuel and Basil Fawlty from Fawly Towers (UK TV programme from 70s). Manager would benefit from some customer service training as blanked us every time we saw him as he did others. On checking out he never said a word, didnt ask us how our stay was, wish us a good journey home or anything, just took the room key off us and never said a word. Found him very ignorant. We booked a Deluxe Studio which was far, far from deluxe! Dirty, broken furniture. Stains on bed and carpet, ripped bedding and curtains. If that was deluxe would hate to see standard rooms! I would recommend booking elsewhere.

The room was as expected for the price it suited as a stop over for early departure for the airport.
Unfortunately did not feel safe outside at this location.

The 1st room we were given was filthy. The balcony was covered in bird excrement. The floor in the room looked as though it hadn't been cleaned for years. When we complainestimate we were given another which was a little better. Because it was early evening we stayed onemail night and found better, cleaner accommodation elsewhere.
It would have been better if it had been cleaned.
We have complained to Booking.com but as yet have not had the courtesy of a reply. The accommodation we moved to was $3 a night more and far superior in every way.
4.0
The room was just like the photo. It was clean, spacious and the bathroom was clean and modern.
I always find the cups or mugs, (not just this place), are always small and thick. I would like some nice thin mugs in the room so I have a decent size cup of tea in a thin mug. They can be picked up reasonably cheaply from many stores.

Property was clean and room was a good size for 4 adults and 2 children 17&15.

We didn’t eat breakfast but location was good but a little bit was far from city.
I think need to clean room every day or every two days and change towels every day or every two days no after 7 day.
