Room was fine. It met our needs and budget for pet friendly accommodation. The stove was extremely clean, likely because there were no pots or pans or bakeware.

Staff was friendly. But this is simply an old, run down facilty that needs a lot of work. Rooms had the bare bones amenities. It appears to be more of a long term stay type of place. I think many of the guest lived there. Walls are very thin, and you could hear all the conversations (though there was lots of yelling) through the walls and doors. The smell in the room was STRONG. Powerful scent from some type of disinfectantor deodroizong spray i believe. Had to open all windows every time we went in to the room to alleviate the smell. Its one of the cheapest options in a tourist area. You get what you pay for. Staff were great, but the friendliness only takes you so far when the place is in such bad shape. But hey, it was dry, there was power and hot water. The money I saved on the rooms (which we really only used for sleeping and getting ready to go out) was used towards some nice dinners and shopping.
