While appreciating that this is not an expensive place to stay, it is nevertheless a bit underwhelming. The place is showing its age, and maintenance is not up to scratch (our door's strike plate was hanging on by a single screw). We had to go back to reception to get the WiFi password, which was a bit odd, and it was stored on the receptionist's phone rather than on a placard. Our room was not cleaned during the 4 nights of our stay, which was disappointing.
