The staff was friendly. (i really appreciate this)
The entrance hallway to the rooms felt a little neglected. I saw cleaning buckets and mops in the corners. my room lacked an information book with the WiFi code. i think, it is essential.

The staff was friendly. The breakfast was superb and well worth the money. I enjoyed the view onto the cricket pitch on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
The staircase leading to the rooms was dirty. There was clutter on the landing. It looked there was only one room key and, therefore, my room was not cleaned.
