Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location, affordable. Everything worked eg tv a/c. Coffee, tea on offer
Negative: Staff member told me not to lick myself out because he loves too far away... I never would. He promised a bottle of water should be in the room... It never came. Felt intimidated when first arriving as there was a private function happening and I wasn't welcomed with any smile
