The room was large , but a single bedside light in main bedroom , Shower was in a spa tub with slippery floor and access without hand holds . Noisy on Friday night and reception on arrival seem to be putout by our arrival ( 939pm ) . No hairdryer in room , which was remedied by staff . Bathroom had a single dressing gown , and no extraction fan .clean tidy functional but not luxurious

Great place to stay, close enough to walk to town. Clean and comfy although a bit dated and old but they are renovating. Would recommend letting people know when booking that you are renovating so they are aware. Pool and spa were not available for use (unclean). Staff were friendly and helpful.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Very average..
In general, everything was old. The door lock was rather flimsy hence I don’t feel secure in the room. Water pressure from shower head was low. We stayed for a few days, No replenishment of toiletries or water, need to request and pick up from concierge. The only plus of this hotel is everyone was very courteous, polite and helpful. This is the first and last time we will stay here.
