The room at first glance looked to be clean, well kept and of reasonable enough standard. However as the stay went on, we noticed some smaller issues, but also some really worrying issues.
Smaller issues would be the TV would turn itself off randomly during the stay, a little irritating, however not a disaster. Also, the body was containers in the bathroom were also empty, so clearly not checked by housekeeping staff. Other cleanliness issues such as stains around the toilet were somewhat concerning!
The major issue came on Tuesday morning when we went to make a coffee. My partner picked up the kettle to put water in but noticed that there was already liquid in the kettle. To her disgust, when she opened it there was a yellow looking liquid in the bottom which i can only say resembled urine. We did not smell it, or pour it out we simply closed the lid and informed reception who said they have never seen it before (not sorry) and said the kettle would need to be completely replaced. When we returned to the room the kettle no longer had yellow liquid in it, but clear liquid suggesting this "new" kettle was clean. However, on closer inspection I noticed this was infact the same kettle. Everything was identical tothe previous kettle, even down to the limescale in the grooves of the product. The kettle was clearly the same one!!
Despite any positives we did have, these issues somewhat ruined the short break i had arranged for my partners birthday as a surprise.
