Non Smoking Room smelt of tobacco smoke
When I arrived the room smelt of tobacco smoke despite it being advertised as non smoking room. The check in staff sprayed the room with air freshener which had little long lasting effect. Restaurant menu limited and poor quality food. I would not stay at this hotel again.
