Lemon Tree Inn

Lemon Tree Inn

8/10 Good
"The staff were very accommodating. That said, our room 341 was very basic with a big hole that I assume once housed a microwave. There was also a black stain or the colour was worn off the toilet seat. Not what you would expect for a hotel charging over $330 per night. Made you think “shabby”."
