The staff were friendly. Rooms were neat and tidy. The parking however isn’t the greatest - needs to be more spacious. The bathroom is out dated and needs a bit of TLC - the bath tap looks like it’s going to drop off.

We arrived back from dinner just after 8pm and none of us (3 different rooms) could get the TV to work! I followed instructions but it was not responding - no sound, no response to channel or volume buttons. I just wished to watch regulr tv, nothing special but nothing worked! There was no contact numbers for help, so nothing could be done. Staff very friendly, rooms very clean and comfortable.
