Service was great on arrival. Few items needed updating which I mentioned on leaving such as window not closing properly and a single bed mattress that was rock hard. Generally fine. Needs aircon in the future Id suggest. Still, good staff and location.

Though it was a room set for disability issues there were no support bars in the shower. The toilet was so close to the wash basin that those with mobility issues would struggle to use the toilet.
