Please do not stay here. Price horrible for the conditions of the room. Pictures show the front of establishment (pub area) which looks quiet nice, however the back area where the actual rooms are looks like a drug-house. The place is called "hotel" but it's actually a motel, as it says in the front of the room's building. In addition, the mold/smell inside the room and hallways was digusting at best. My partner and i could not sleep as our throat hurt from pungent mold smell. All night the walls were wet and sweating. Not to mention the poor quality of the bed and the "furniture" in the room. For the love of god just go somewhere else to sleep one night. I would consider my car instead.
