The room was clean and tidy but a little tired. There was no overhead lighting just a lamp above the bed and a very small table lamp which was insufficient to use to get ready by. The room was extremely hot and no air conditioning. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was very good.

Life is too short for you to stay at this property. I was a sardine stuck in a stinky can! I’ve never had a room so small. I literally had to move a chair out of the way and stick it by the front door in order to open a suitcase. The bed was hard, and the hallway was dark and dank. Probably one of the worst nights sleep I’ve had in the last 25 years. This hotel is in terrible need of an overhaul and to get out of the 1980s. The best part is when I left! Some horrible things you just need to leave behind you…
