4-night trip

2/10

I don't know where to start. On check-in, our room was described as luxury - 30 years ago this may have been true. Holes in the carpet, tatty, old furniture, torn valance, tiny, claustrophobic bathroom, sticky biscuit packets, stained, old pillows. Generally, if we hadn't been rushing off to an appointment, we wouldn't have stayed

I’d like to recommend a supervisor named Ginger that made the stay very welcoming. She is an engaged employee providing the highest customer service. Next time I’m in from the US I will be coming back to the Strathmore because of her.
