The property is pretty run down and has suffered noticeable water damage, but the staff are friendly and helpful and do the best they can with what they have. The room was large, and tidy, and not overly noisy.

Very run down hotel. Noisy fan constantly running in the bathroom. Did have all you needed in the room. And the bed was comfy. Just very three star accommodation and the price reflects it so can’t complain. Would only stay for one night for a quick stop over.

Decent stay

Our stay was good, room was large & also had a separate bedroom with two single beds, did not use that room but would have if there was a queen bed instead of singles. We had a balcony which was pool view. Nice to sit out there in the evening. It was a pity that the pool was not in a clean state, they obviously have a problem with birds as the pool was littered with bird feathers & looked unkempt. Its such a shame the pool area is not looked after as it wouldve been lovely to relax by the pool. Overall the hotel was good & very close to shops, cafes & restaurants.

We didn’t like this hotel at all. It said in the information that the restaurant was closed for renovations, but the receptionist said it had been closed for 4 years. The room smelled as though they’d been cleaning the carpet/furnishings with chemicals. It was very large and very few people staying. Would not stay here again.

The property was clean, but the inside was dark uninviting, lots of lights out, bed was just ok. The patio chair cushions were flat as pancakes. The car parking was a night mare as only acess to hotel was onthe first floor in which they shared with other businesses so we had to walk our luggage down to flights of ramps... Staff were awesome. Hitel rating i would give a 3 star wouldn't go back. I
