Friendly owners
The front desk is more often than not manned by the owner himself, and guests were thankful for the guided maps that were available with information on the local attractions, and good eateries. The friendly attitude of the front desk made guests feel even more comfortable.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Some serious cleanliness issues
Dirty carpets, mouldy bathrooms, and rusty taps were some of the concerns guests reported to management. The rooms were not considered to be clean at all, and many guests questioned whether there was in fact a maid service in between guests.
negative:
Run down building
There's a rickety staircase you will have to climb if you are not on the ground floor, and many guests felt this was a serious safety hazard. Other concerns included loose gutters, peeling paint, and rusty railings along the length of the walkway.
negative:
Nasty smell around
Several rooms got the same complaint about stale cigarette smoke, and a damp carpet odour. Many guests asked to switch rooms, and while some were lucky enough to get a better smelling room, others were not that lucky.
