Acceptable but overpriced stay

helpful staffloud fanmissing fridge
The staff were friendly and helpful (i will say that).
I paid a high price for one night in a basic room. There were no beams as was mentioned in the description, no safe, no fridge. there was no air conditioning, just a fan on the floor that was so loud I had to turn it off.
