My room was quite small and felt a little dated. i booked what i thought was an executive room, but it resembled the standard room shown online (honestly, i was a bit disappointed). it advertised a mini bar but only had an empty fridge and the bedding smelled stale. It reminded me of it wasn't cleaned often enough.
