Average
The bathroom had big long black hairs on floor and behind the door and also caught up in the plastic bathmat. The sink had a ring of grime around plug hole in both rooms booked that could do with a good scrub. Beds had to much bedding on them making them far to soft

Mattress on the bed had a hump in the middle, making it difficult to stay in bed. Room was VERY small. Did not look like the photo at all. Hotel has air conditioning on the website, but do not have it available. Would not have stayed their had we known that as room size made it quite stuffy. A cheap pedestal fan was provided but only circulated warm air.
