Room window didn't lock, could open it ftom the outside. Extremely hot in room Drain in shower didn't drain. Bed very lumpy and uncomfortable. Laundry very crowded. . Picture in ad does not match what the rooms are. Definitely not worth the money they ask for a night's accommodation.

They were friendly and helpful but the accomodation is very tired, no sound proofing between walls, cramped and dark, lots of broken lights (which didn’t help), hasn’t been updated in decades. Kitchen was very basic with very old benchtop oven with elements on top. Not ideal for cooking. Was a wonderful location and it was the last available option in town so meant we could actually go. Don’t have high expectations.

The reception man was lovely. However The room was really grubby. The couch and chairs were visibly dirty with white stains (probably food), they needed a hot cloth wipe. There were cobwebs and dead flies behind the doors and beds. Even the table needed a wipe down. The walls are thin as the lady next door was on the ph till 1am in the morning and I couldnt sleep.
