Excellent value, great location and very helpful staff. Sure, the place is ageing and that shows, but it’s clean and adequate. For the price I thought it was excellent and I’d happily stay again.

We realize it was old and they said they will be upgrading and refurbishing next year , but that was no excuse for the condition of the rooms, The exhaust fan in the shower and Toilet area was noisy and the cover was falling to bits ,the ceiling fan only worked on High speed ,could not see out the window it was filthy we had to lay across the bed to watch the tv as it was on the wall beside it,,But one exception the bed was very comfortable , Also the stairs up to the rooms were a health hazard for the Elderly as we are 81 and 80 years old So to our disappointment we had to forfeit 1 night ,because of the stairways . It was cheap but not cheep enough but at the time we booked is was the only place available at the time of need.

There is no getting around how old and dingy the room and hallways are. We had read they are renovating this year but there is no sign of that. That said, the rooms were clean enough and the beds were fine. It is cheap, and for us just looking for a place to sleep, in the area we needed to be, it was fine. We’d stay again, but only for a night, just to sleep. We wouldn’t stay if we were going to be spending any time in the rooms.
