Disappointed with the room I was offered. Had a bad odour and the dining chairs had stains all over them. I actually went back to reception and said I cannot stay in that room - after an 8 hour drive I wanted something cosy and warm and welcoming and it was none of those things unfortunately. I then booked into a different hotel.

The online presence of the property doesn't match the actual presence of the property. Some serious photo editing!!

Close to the city centre at an affordable price however, you get what you pay for. Very basic, small motel room.
