the room was excellent although the carparking area underneath the rooms was extremely filthy and was a smoking area and that smoke drifted into the open windows above. Pretty ghastly for non smokers. The rooms could benefit from some maintenance. but is not drastic.

While it was a comfortable Queen Room, with a view, it was out dated and drab. The shower was clean enough though there was ‘gunk’ in the bottom of the screen door. Their reception staff however were wonderfully polite and friendly.
