    The showers and toilets were holiday park style as in at outdoor temperature, and quite a walk from our rooms. Still, they were clean and usable. I'm glad I skipped the shower there as it was freezing. There were a few rather dodgy electrical connections, and we had to unplug the heater to boil the jug. The carpet in my room had a lot of human hair on it, which came off on a cloth when we wiped a spill. The bag of dirty sheets was on a chair when we arrived. Still, this was at less than half the price of the next cheapest accommodation, at a hostel, without its own parking.

    Warm rooms with heaters and good bedding with clean sheets and good mattresses and pillows. Yiu can ask for towels. There are no toiletries. Very good value for money, and it had its own free parking and good location, close to the Spa Park.

    It was not clean, and we had fleas/bedbugs, as we mentioned in our previous correspondence. Wifi was free but lacked connectivity in some rooms.

    It is located close to the city and is easily accessible via the highway. Staff was helpful and accommodating.

    The hot water system was bizarre, and hard to get working (particularly in the kitchenette). There wasn't a lot of bench workspace for cooking, and the bathroom was a bit grimy. There were beds in the lounge, but no couches. The microwave was on a shelf that wasn't deep enough for it, which seemed unsafe - particularly as it wasn't secured to the wall. Fine for an overnight stay, but wouldn't recommend longer than that.

    The beds were comfortable, and the sheets were clean. The staff were friendly, and the complex felt safe and was quiet.

    There is no doubt some plumbing work need to be done. Tap is dripping, bit noisy over night, the toilet stool got all the four bolts loose, wobbly left and right when sitting on it, that I almost fell off when using it the first time. The tv can be turned on, but no images, only the sound, and the wires attached to the wall are dangling around.

    Location is good for sure, and a quiet place to stay, only about 3 3-minute drive to the town centre for great view and food. The room we stayed had AC to keep warm inside. Instant hot water is great which means we could have a long shower after whole day driving.
