The lack of pride taken by the owner and employees
ClaireNew ZealandThe filthy kitchen ang fridges made me want to run. Shabby place needing better management.
Hard to find anything very positive about this accommodation. The shower was hot and had good pressure.
Kitchen facilities are not pleasant. All pots and pans are burnt with no good way to clean them. . Benches dirty.…
