Room was freezing and no blanket available. I was overseas when booked and informed the hotel I would be arriving outside checkin hours. I had to have a friend ring the hotel to get the information to get into the room. They did not give me the information needed.

This accomodation is budget, with your own transport it is not difficult to get to wherever you want to go. It's a pity the restaurant is closed down. I've stayed before and would stay again but not if I was travelling with my wife.
