I liked how the hotel was pet friendly and optional for pet owners to have there dog. I think more hotels should be like this. I did not like that after reception was closed you couldnt acess anything such as milk, tea, coffee or facilities such as the roof top tearrace bbq area to smoke or that there was no balcony in the single bed standard room. Made the room have no air flow.

Property in good central location , room supplied was overlooking a restaurant roof with extraction fans going to all hours, no screen on small balcony with no view. Bed was hard, old and uncomfortable, amenities disjointed from living area and set out like a nursing home. Booked in for three days checked out next morning no refund.

Wasn't told prior or at check in that rooms would not be serviced over the new year long weekend. Not only were they not serviced, but the complex was unmanned new year's day. Not only a security issue but other people were confused about how to check in. Rooms were tidy but tired. Towel rack kept falling off, and drier was too noisy to use while in the room (feel sorry for anyone next door).

First night there the roof top area was open but for the rest of the stay it was closed. Having to then resort to going to the car park for a smoke. And the "double bed" was just to singles pushed together. Save the cash and go somewhere cheaper the experience would probably be the same.
