Nice hotel in a good location but feeling a little tired and in need of a refresh. I've been staying here on and off for a few years now and the staff are pleasant and helpful. The food is OK for a budget hotel but it really does need an update. The rooms are comfortable and spacious but a little uninspiring.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I arrived after a 3 1/2 hour drive. I ordered food at the bar area and the food was dreadful. I had hunters chicken which came with breaded chicken, rock hard chips and cremated bacon. Needless to say I left most of it. The room was freezing cold and the bathroom was filthy. The shower tray was dirty and the toilet had brown marks on it. Needless to say, I wont be staying here again. I would rather pay the extra and stay at the double tree across the road.
The shower tray was so bad there was no way I was having a shower!
The handle on the toilet was dirty and needs replacing
The toilet seat had brown stains
