Walls are that thin you can hear the person in the next room. Road noise as well. Room had paint peeling off the walls, On a good note, they welcome dogs.

Served the purpose for a quick overnight stop, but the room is in desperate need of maintenance and repair. Cupboards, lamps, and doors were broken or damaged, and the chairs need a good clean. Shower gel provided in a dispenser, but no washers and no hand towel provided. Bed was comfortable and clean. Staff at reception was friendly and helpful. Easy checkin and checkout process. Convenient location.

Hi Stephen as I previously responded to you with the following - I have personally checked the toilet in your room and am unable to find a problem. When you checked out you didn't say to me there was a problem with it, when we had a discussion. I have gone thru all details of your booking and can find nothing requested from Expedia in relation to breakfast, I will email copies of what we received for the booking if you require it, We have always had a continental style breakfast and 99.9% of our guests are happy with a free breakfast (not flash but sustainable). I have checked our phone logs and we sent you a text with the details of the room at 6.10pm on the 21/6/23 and again at 7.58pm 21/6/23 after receiving 1 phone call at 7.57pm, and none on our mobile - the only prior call we had was at 4.44pm on the 20/6/23 for 1.53min. In relation to the room rate the room you were in is a fully renovated room not a basic room and the sign does say rooms from 79.00. We are sorry that you didn't find it a good experience however we always try to do our best and look after our guest's needs. Graham & Barb
