Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room had been poorly cleaned. The table had a white plastic doily tablecloth that was very mouldy. The duvet had tears. The vanity joinery was swelling and paint peeling and the tiles had fallen off the skirting in areas. The bathroom had hair on the floor and lots of dead bugs stuck all over the ceiling. It wasn't very pleasant.

Who can complain about a hotel connected to an Irish Pub. Accommodations were suitable and convenient. Staff was friendly and helpful - dinner at the Pub was very good - and super convenient.

Parking was a bit far away from the unit, especially for my husband who has mobility issues. Also there were broken bottles on the driveway so concerned about security of car. Units were very clean and the bed was a king size so that was great. Inside kitchen and bathroom units were a bit tired. Kitchen was a bit under supplied with equipment
