Grant, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Booked two rooms for me and a buddy. He got there first and checked him in however they had already booked someone else in the room. Head to find a new one. Then our rooms weren’t next to each other. Granted I got an upgrade. However no cables or remotes for the tv. So it didn’t work. When they brought a cable only came on for 2 minutes then didn’t work for the rest of our stay. Was lucky we were heading out most of the time.
Gareth, 2-night trip

Good clean functional accommodation! Lots amenities within walking distance! Extremely friendly and helpful staff (Navya). Arrived and found the was an issue with my booking, Navya was very helpful bu upgrading my room. I also needed an extra night which was organised without any problem.
