A quick stop we for us and we had what we wanted- a clean and comfy room with a fridge, kettle and tv. Perfect. Simple and affordable. great bathrooms too. If I had to say one thing that was missing it would be a light over the bed/bedside light. Will stay again

Great location and great food, but on the intersection of two main roads so it's convenient but unfortunately too noisy. Windows need to be triple glazed to keep the traffic noise down. Bathroom needs to be properly renovated and repairs done.

Nice clean rooms but noisy. You can hear people out in the corridors early in the morning. Kids run up and down and the doors are noisy. Small rooms but all you need as long as you are a heavy sleeper.

This was a nice place to stay. Although being in a room next to the shared bathrooms wasnt great. People slamming the door early in the morning wasnt ideal and taking very long showers. If you are trying to have a sleep in not ideal at all. Carpet in the room was filthy.

Hotel was clearly a former smoking hotel and the rooms still reeked of cigarette smoke. There were no bathrooms in the rooms and you had to go down the hall to get to them, check out was 10 AM, however the rooms locked guests out at 9 AM and people had gone to the bathroom and couldn't get back into their rooms, worse too as reception was not yet open.

Staff were very friendly and helpful when checking in at the bar, rooms are accessible through a seperate entrance, up a floor of stairs and above the bar area, so there is some ambient noise through the floor til late but nothing that kept us awake. We got a deluxe room with private bathroom, and the bathroom was nice, modern, and very clean, with a nice shower with a big rainfall style shower head. Regular rooms don't have bathrooms, we didnt use the communal ones but they looked the same as the private one so are nice though you might need to wait. Room was well cooled with air conditioner and fan, and a small bar fridge that chilled water bottles pretty well. Usual amenities, including a kettle and tea cups etc. Overall a great and affordable stay over a long weekend, as long as you're not expecting any extra frills.
