Fast check in, clean room, friendly and helpful staff. It's not the fanciest hotel in the world, but it isn't claiming to be. Good range of tea/coffee in the room, comfy bed, and easy to use air conditioning in the room. Walking distance to a small town centre with lots of food options, and literally next door to a petrol station if you just wanted a snack. Would definitely stay again.

Room was clean but there was alot of cobwebs swinging from the ceiling. Water struggled to drain when showering so ended up standing ankle deep in water after washing. Bed was comfy, breakfast was enjoyable. Handy for the hospital.
