Disappointing to find a dirty facecloth on the microwave and lipstick on the wine glass in the room we had.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The fridge was not working. The buffet breakfast which we paid extra for was appalling, very low standard in the kitchen and I would not even consider dinner after that experience.
View was very average as we were looking onto a carpark and building - then the lake. The block next door obstructed the view too.
The lights in the exterior didn’t work so it was hard to find the room. Then the first thing I saw was a can of raid, so my husband wouldn’t go under the sheets in the bed. The room was extremely small & not like the photos on the website. Very disappointing
Friendly staff once greeted and stay overall was fine. Not 5 stars given very limited parking available and smaller rooms than what appeared in the photos.
