I stayed in a room in the oldest part of the building. The bed and bedding smelled really bad. The staff were helpful and pleasant but I couldn’t sleep all night as the bed smelled old and gross. The tv in the room is very old and small. The room needs a complete overhaul. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Bathroom ceiling paint was peeling and had black mold. Water in the bathroom sink tap had a string sulphur smell. Overpriced for the quality of the room.

Make sure you read the Google reviews not just the reviews here. Sure it’s old and a little tired but the real issue is they are allowing people to smoke and house pets in the room… loud barking dog and the smell of smoke all night long made for an uncomfortable stay.

Really enjoyed my stay. For my price range it has lots of amenities and was clean and very comfortable. Staff was super helpful and friendly and if you join their loyalty.or members program the price is even better ( told to book through them directly). Will stay there again when im in town. I'm not sure if the price increases during the summer festival period when all the plays are on.

The front desk staff were polite and helpful. Our room was dated but clean. The mattress was somewhat past its expiry date and should be replaced but was not terrible, in fact I slept well. The only negative was the loud hum of the in-suite refrigerator, so much so I had to wear my ear plugs all night. Compared to other hotel prices in town it was good value for money.

The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff is pleasant and efficient. The only issue I would have is that the air conditioning in the rooms is set too high and makes the rooms too cold. I couldn't see a way to turn it off or down in the room I was in.

This property it’s decor and furnishings are dated but with that said it was very clean from the bathroom to the bedroom with adequate towels, bedding and toiletries. The beds were very comfortable. It’s just unfortunate that they no longer have a hotel bar/restaurant access as it is permanently closed.

Unfortunately, the property is located across the street from what must be a compost facility which provided less than perfect odors when outside.

Though this is an older property it had ample parking, the rooms were large and well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the property and rooms were clean and the staff were both friendly and helpful. This is not the Ritz so if you are looking for high end, this isn't your property however if you are looking for a reasonably priced stay, this one a chance. (As other guests have mentioned, I would suggest bringing your own toilletries).

The property is dated. It's ok since we just stayed 1 night. I liked how our room has multiple beds! Plenty of parking. Walmart and restaurants nearby.
