An improvement in the booking in and checking out. There could easily be a key drop box at the location for early check out rather than having to go up the road. Clearer instructions needed for checking You actually go left not right!

The kitchen bench had dried spilled coffee on - not cleaned. The floors were very sticky, you could see sticky spots on the floor. Our shoes stuck to the floor. Room fan only had 3 feet and needed to be balanced with a chair. The only ok thing was that the sheets felt clean. But the room was definitely not cleaned.
