I found nothing at all disappointing with my stay at this property. everything was well and truly above my expectations, if anything was not to my liking it would be the hard pillows but that is my personal preference and not their fault. The room was spotless with a great size bath room and management/staff were very accommodating- Well done guys and I will make sure of a return visit to your property on my next trip through. Thank you,

I liked the layout of the room. The beds were comfortable, clean and in good condition. Hot water and water pressure was really good. We checked in late and was no problem at all. Friendly service. Finding the property was easy and although was on a main road, the noise from the traffic was not distracting. Clean and tidy around the facility. I would definately stay again.
