Great staff and value for money.

The staff were really helpful and provided a take away breakfast at 5:30 am and additional tea and coffee sachets. Room clean but hot due to the air conditioning being broken which we had been notified of in advance and a fan was supplied.

Smoke Bins

Bins are taken out at 5:00 and staff smoking area out the back very active. On Wednesday and Thursday nights. Not enjoyable at all to be woken up. But you won’t respond to this anyways so goes unstated.

Not at all happy with this stay

It was not good at all. AC was not working and bathroom light was flickering. I have checked in at 4pm and left the hotel by 7:30pm due to the non working of AC and the temptation was 30degrees. It was horrible !!
