The property is old, rundown. Lacks some basic amenities, like teatowels, washing liquid, dish cloth. Office was always locked, un-attended by staff. Linen was clean, shower was great, but had some serious maintenance issues. Needs some freshening up with paint, curtains, and some inexpensive decor would brighten it up. Very overpriced stay.

Staff were friendly and fresh towels and room serviced daily. Small room without natural lighting, badly in need of renovation. Dissapointed with poor facilities especially compared to booking, different room we had, when we stayed last year. Mould in shower, badly leaking spraying shower and hand basin taps, no lighting other than a switch near bathroom door across room from bed ... not even a bedside light; and ancient noisy aircon with no remote. Room certainly was not worth price we paid.

The shower was extremely dangerous. The bath under the shower was slopped and there was a dip in the bath directly under the shower not large enough for your feet to fit.
