• Serious cleanliness issues including cockroaches, blood-stained bedding on arrival, and previous guests' items left under beds requiring deep cleaning requests.
• Hotel offers halal restaurant which is a key draw, but food quality is inconsistent with cold dishes served frequently due to warmers being switched off.
