Value for money
I was not expecting a lot when I booked but I was pleasantly surprised both by the service I received from the very friendly, helpful staff and how comfortable the bed was although the room was small there was plenty of storage. Everywhere was well maintained and spotlessly clean.

Nice room and bathroom.
There appeared to be a lack of staff for the number of people staying. This was very evident at breakfast on the Sunday.
The bar closing at 9pm was also very dissapointing

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. She gave us directions to a great restaurant. My personal favorite was the extra large shower with endless hot water.

We were in a small double which was ok for what we paid but there was a crack in the sink, shower and floor tiles as well as a trip hazard with the carpet loose upon entry to the room.
Room was very cosy when we arrived but heating was off both mornings even though it was very frosty conditions.
Breakfast was filling and good selection.

Would not stay again
It was no more than a stop over on my trip to better locations and accommodations. Hotel needs updating and upgrading.
