The environment was clean upon arrival. The reception area looked tidy. Staff working behind the reception desk were friendly. They were also helpful with directions.
Rooms seem quite outdated. The interiors do not reflect a modern standard. The hotel lacked basic amenities such as a mini fridge. Even drinking water was not available in the room.

missing indicatorinsufficient milk
The room seemed quite worn. I noticed water stains on the ceiling, remnants of a past leak. The tap's indicator for hot and cold water was missing. we received only one packet of biscuits for two guests. The provided milk was insufficient for the amount of tea and coffee. I was also surprised only shampoo was available. No conditioner was available at all.
