Going into this reservation I had not extremely high expectations, given the price paid. The person who greeted me was nice and able to get along with. I arrived into my room 25… with a massive whopping smell of cigarettes. No ventilation in the room what so over and for a hotel that had a sign up the front saying 350 dollar fine for smoking… you would have thought you wouldn’t come across the smell of it. The bathroom was in desperate need of a deep clean and a remodel. Didn’t feel like getting into the shower with out thongs on.. the room was fine otherwise, bed was comfortable. The smell of the smoke and the bathroom was the biggest let downs. Also everyone staying seemed to have no sense of when it was appropriate to be quiet. Not that it’s their control about who stays there etc, but could implement some ways to help improve it. Given reading other reviews, it seems like a regular thing. On another note, I understand the need to know roughly of when you would be arriving to your stay…. So I had received a message asking just after making the booking about what time I would arrive. I had replied and that was that. Following closer to my stay I had phone calls and multiple messages asking me about my arrival time. Including on the day of my arrival. Started to become frustrated at this after the third call. As well as the constant messages for a review??…. Especially asking for a 10?! Wasn’t gonna put one, but now I have.

I like location but that’s it…… it needs to be condemned, not family friendly and not real nice for backpackers

One of the few hotel options left when I travelled on short notice. Got in room 3 which faces the road and was insanely noisy. Bells from the church, garbage trucks from 5am, hotel staff hanging around the laundry. And the front door bangs all hours of the night. But other guests at the hotel are seasonal fruit pickers who either party and come in late or leave early for work. I left hotel early and trying to get a refund with the help of wotif (who have been great) but the hotel was not responding. The manager at the new hotel I went to use to manage Cornwall - he said they had a complaint about room 3 & 4 almost every night. Dont get fooled by the cheap room rate - just not worth it.

Was clean. One thing which was missing, no cutlery. Had plates and mugs. Coffee and tea was appreciated. Was asked prior to arrival, my time of arrival and any special reason for stay. For nothing.

If you're visiting fir a holuday don't bother with this place. Our room was small, things were broken, paper thin walls so we could here everything. I suspect we were the only tourists, the rest were workers employed on a project who got up at 4.30 am and made lors of noise. My advice is stsy elsewhere.
