Decent Location, Concerning Cleanliness
fabulous locationmildew groutdust accumulation
The hotel has a fabulous location and convenient car parking facilities.
The room showed a significant amount of mildew and mould on the shower's grout (yikes!). Dust accumulated on wall ornaments and the toilet roll holder, showing that there were some gaps in the cleaning process.
