Kelly

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was a good location, staff friendly and parking convenient. However- the rooms were stuck on 27• C and incredibly stuffy. We were told that fans were not working. I would also say that the shower/bath combos were difficult to use and the half door meant everything got wet. No water pressure at all and hard to shower in.
