I like to have the bedding linen changed which did not happen in this case. I feel bad in keep requesting the same thing. I am positive that the day I checked in, the linen was filthy as I had bites.It was not changed by previous customers. After staying in hotels, I can tell when the linen has not been changed or the bedsheets had people lying on it.The hotel did change on the next day but that was it.

the room was very small. We were directed to the most expensive restaurant in town rather than given a choice. We were kept awake all night by the gusts next door - who literally partied all night. We told reception who apologised but didnt really go beyond a "sorry" - offering to help us with our luggage would have sufficed but - nothing.

Near hospital so very important for me. I had to wait at 19.30 for 3/4 hour for someone to open the front door as the person on duty said he was having ‘tea’ dinner. I’m 80 years old .lucky somebody on the street side phoned the property to open the outside gate . Once on the property I had to wait 3/4 hour till front door was opened and i was let in. Then clean room and complementary breakfast for the treatment I received.
