8/10 Good
"Staff was excellent. Breakfast was good. The rooms are dated. We had the room with 3 single beds in it. Two were comfortable and one was too soft. No sheets to cover with only a comforter. No AC!!! Only a small fan.The room was kind of stuffy."

"I didn't like the amount of stairs because our bags were heavy (2 week trip) woth multiple stays. Also, a key from the front desk was necessary in order to access the pool. The location, however was very nice. Right in the square and walkable to food, shopping etc."

8/10 Good
"Amazing staff, great location and parking The food is average and the menu is very limited, the room (19) has been updated recently but was right by the the main road and a noisy extract fan on the floor below which came on at 4.15am every morning. Overall it’s a nice big hotel that has been in the process of renovation for the last few years. It would be a much better experience if they could expand the menu and quality of the food."
