The curtain wasn't big enough to cover the window so we had to try pin it over at night time so people couldn't look in and see us.

While the room was clean, it was very outdated. For the price they charge, I can only assume you’re paying for the hood location. The negatives: The shower pressure was terrible, with the water more like a dribble. The bed felt very unstable. The chain lock on the door was broken. It had an overall dated feel. And being right on the main road it was pretty noisy on a Saturday night. The positives: it was clean, the heat pump was good, and we could log into Netflix on the tv.

If you’re after just a comfortable bed and basic amenities. This is the place to stay. Netflix etc are not included in the tv, you have to log into your account so those who don’t have netflix miss out. Just basic tv. Stayed in corporate suite which had a spa bath. Close to town which is the bonus.

Clean, fresh and really friendly staff. Would happily go back. The only negative was the street noise from revelers and that is a function of the location and not a reflection on the property itself
