Good location.
The place is falling apart. Crockery and cutlery all different. The walls and ceilings are stained and look ready to fall down.
It seems that it's a one man show and the manager can't be everywhere

Property is dilapidated and needs serious maintenance and revamping. Seemed as though there were long term residents occupying rooms and communal spaces. Rooms were much too expensive for the state they were in.

An aging facility but very clean and comfortable, I loved the elevator. A short-notice booking priced right. More than happy with the one-night stay.

Issue a 100% refund.
We did not stay at hotel. We checked out after 15 minutes as the rooms were not fit for habitation. We informed the staff and returned our keys:
Trash was lying around
Bathroom fixtures were rusted
Rooms dirty
Photos available if required

This place was absolutely disgusting!!! The bathroom was covered in mould and the kitchen was just as gross. The floor was not clean. The website says pool and spam these were both closed for whatever reason. The place is an absolute disgusting mess!!

Staff, location, access to shops were great. But the property is a bit tired. 3.5 stars is probably a fair rating. But for the price, I thought it was very good.

Room setting is outdated but has all the basic necessities. Beds are comfortable and clean. Close enough parking to the room. The fish n chip place across the road, extremely yummy so that was a bonus.
