No response

We booked a stay here and had to cancel our trip due to an accident. I knew it was nonrefundable but sent them two emails asking if we could just rebook it. I never received any replies from them. I would have appreciated a response even it was “no”. When we rebook our trip we will not be staying here.

the property is getting very tired and the room could have been cleaner. there was some painting happening in the hallway, so perhaps they are starting to give the place a paint - I hope they do all the walls and not just patch them The spare blanket in the room for the sofa bed was dirty. The sofa bed itself was below standard - the mattress was very very thin. The bedding for the main bed and sheets and towels were very clean and the bathroom shower was hot and had great water pressure - so that was great.
