I had arrived a little early and was greeted by a very cheerful young lady who let me book in ahead of time. The bed was comfortable, great shower and bathroom. The kitchen had everything that I needed.

The room was clean but needed mainenance is needed as 1 of the windows could not close at all as a hinge was broken also a broken hinge on the door. The floors were very clean but the lino was very slippery which was a concern as my mother is elderly..

Clean fully equipped room let down by noise
Stayed here for 1 night recently and it was lucky I was only staying for a night.
Good points:
Spacious, clean and fully equipped room. Has air conditioning.
Bad points:
Dated room, noisy room with poor sound insulation - can hear vehicles passing by. Also I was woken up by some banging sounds at 7 am.

The room was dated, but clean and tidy and well appointed. However, there was no milk supplied, and no soap in the bathroom soap dispenser. The shower pressure was not very good either. Parking is a little difficult to navigate in the end rooms.
The room had a really nice view though and the area seemed safe and was close to town.
