The room smelt like stale cigarette smell. Needs airing. I couldn't get the air conditioner to heat, blew cold air. I set it right, but no heat.
The room was quiet even though it was on a busy road and with other people staying around us. The room was clean and staff fantastic.
It will be our “to go” when visiting family.

The restaurant staff are brilliant and very welcoming and the food was lovely.
In a convenient quiet area, however the bathrooms desperately need updating - we are in out 70s and having to step up into a half bath to shower is risky!
Also would prefer a queen size bed rather than a double.
The unit needed some maintenance E.G, the internal doors not easy to operate, & the aircon could do with either servicing or replacing. Otherwise good for a basic unit.

Basic accommodation but perfect for what we needed. Near to shops and very friendly staff.
The room was a disgrace, paint and plaster coming off the walls. Front door falling apart at the bottom and daylight could be seen underneath. The linen was clean but the room and bathroom had an overall feeling of being dirty. In desperate need of renovation. Having left a day early and told why the receptionist did not seem that interested in my concerns
Room decor was dated. Couch springs were gone so no support and made it very difficult to get up from it. Bathroom taps had to be turned and turned to turn the water on or off. Hot water was so hot that it would be easy to scald yourself. Jets in the tub did not work. Fan cover in the bathroom needs to be cleaned. TV in the main room did not work. Very large bedroom but the bed was positioned so the bathroom door hit the foot of the bed and could not be opened all the way - made it difficult for the person sleeping on that side of the bed to get into the bathroom at night. Security chain on the door had nothing to connect to - had been ripped off. On the positive side, the room was very spaciou, the a/c works well and the king size bed was very comfortable.
