Very friendly, helpful staff. We booked at the very last minute after our car broke down on the way to Penguin and also checked in late but everything was ready for us as soon as we got there. Room was clean, comfy bed, not too noisy. The only thing was there was no elevator, only a dumb waiter type lift, which didn’t really affect us much as we were able to fit all our stuff in it and walk up the stairs but worth mentioning in case stairs are a problem for anyone :)

Unfortunately not great stay. Bed was comfortable but the water shower was dirty and took ages for warm water. Carpet was dirty also. Won’t be staying again

Convenient location at a good price. Clean and comfortable. Being so close to town it is a little noisy on Friday and Saturday nights.

We stayed at the Cornwall for 1 night. A few things worth mentioning.. we will start off with the bad; the room wasn't particularly clean, there was a big white mystery stain on the light on our bedside table and food under one of the beds (not from us), no cutlery, the light in the bathroom was held by tape and fell on my partner.. thankfully it was plastic, I sat in the lobby and I was stabbed by a nail that actually went through my $109 jeans and pierced my skin. Location was great, the reception staff was lovely and gave us a later check out but I am big on cleanliness so not sure I would stay again.

Hi, Thank you for your review. It is unfortunate we have not meet your expectation. The stain on the table is a mark from coffee hot cups, we already have the table replaced as we cannot remove the marks. The bathroom light cover, we have no issue in the past, I will speak the maintenance as to how and why it was taped and not securely attached. Your safety is our main priority. We will look at your feedback and pass this on to the team.

Property and facilities were very rundown. Family room was very small and musty. Cleanliness was an issue. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel.
