The property requires a lot of maintenance work, up grades on rooms and facilities. Location to the venue was great. Price was good. Items for rooms no hairdryer, shower flooded floor in bathroom. Taps require maintenance for bathroom sink and shower.

Lisa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Property old but looks work is being done. Over all fine friendly staff
Pauline, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Apparently this property has a two star rating. That’s two stars too many in my opinion! The property does not even remotely resemble the photos on Wotif. And it wasn’t actually that cheap! The rooms and entire building were poorly presented, beds were uncomfortable although the sheets were clean. The hot tap was stuck on, so it dripped all night and meant that showers were either scalding hot, or just not an option. We laughed it off but NEVER AGAIN!!
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms are big and spacious
