Dirty room. Dust everywhere, food and waste in bins, bodily fluids in bathroom, hairs in sink and on toiletries. Photos sent to staff members phone as requested to be forwarded to manager I was told got refund. Spent all Saturday on phone to Expedia and at reception desk. Weekend ruined my son’s 8th birthday treat this was supposed to be. Promised refund by staff and waiting update.

The sofa bed in the triple room was filthy. The sheets had not been changed since the last guests and there was blood on the sheets. We checked in at night and the staff member who initially tried to resolve it was lazy and incompetent, trying to avoid doing what was required (came 3x to try and change sheets). A second staff member came and she sorted it out. The next day, my husband spoke to the manager and she offered us free parking and free breakfast.

Carpets were old and dirty, the bathroom was not very clean. Towels and sheets (or maybe it was the mattress) had a mildew or sweat smell. I really think a renewal is required asap.
