The hot water in the shower was dismal. Just as good as having a cold shower

Hi Irene, we have not had anyone else mention a hot water problem to us, so we're very sorry your experience was less than fabulous. If you had mentioned the problem to us while you were here, we could have rectified the problem or moved you to another room if we could not fix it immediately. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back & provide you with an experience that exceeds your expectations.

Hotel is looking run down and could do with an update. Painting inside and out, new carpets, bitumen driveway needs upgrading. On a good note, comfortable beds, good heating and nice shower head.

Thank you Jayne

Very close to main street for all shopping, restaurants etc. It was a very comfortable bed, great shower , clean and serviced daily to empty bins, make up beds, provide fresh towels. The only negative is walls are bit thin and I can hear other people in the rooms and being close to highway can hear traffic after 5 am - apart from that well done to all staff
