1.0 star property
Agnes Water
7.0 out of 10, Good, (2 reviews)
"The rooms are very very basic. Not even a mirror in the bathroom, hairdryer or iron and ironing board in the room. The bathroom basin was tiny with old fashioned seperate hot and cold water taps. We asked WiFi but were not given even a password with the reason being that it didn't extend to our room and the technician is on holidays. The bed was comfortable. We only stayed one night so it was fine for that."

In term of the unit, it was clean but dish washer was not working, the carpet is soiled and dirty looking, balcony furniture was disgustingly dated and stained, dining table was sticky, balcony floor is dirty. Overall my impression of the unit is dirty and dated. The best was the bedding, comfortable bed and thick towels."
