First room we were given was covered in paint, shower hose was leaking all water out, next room had a spa bath, it didnt spa, sink taps were loose, mattresses were old springy mattresses. Thin blankets. Broken bed bases and some were to small. Kettle seemed to have had coffee boiled in it. No couch just a single bed to sit on to watch tv

It was warm once heated and comfortable. It was pretty clean and tidy and the staff were friendly however could have physically greeted us rather than sitting in the back room talking to us through a doorway. Our room had lights without working bulbs. There were dishes provided but no plug to use the sink to wash them. The extra bed in the communal area made seating uncomfortable for watching TV. The $30 fee for 2 nights parking seemed steep and should really be a complimentry service unless people have more than 1 vehicle or something oversized or built into the price rather than an extra. Overall we enjoyed our stay but thought that these areas were constructive ways to perhaps improve guest experience. Besides the parking it was great value for money.

If you are after a cheep very basic room, you will be fine, it’s really a 2 star hotel in my opinion. Very dated and worn, but the bed was comfortable.

It's a shame because it's in a great location. If they put more love into it, it would be excellent. We came in winter, and there was no blanket, and the bedspread was burnt.
