Good for the price

The hotel is no frills but for the price has everything you need for an overnight stay. The room was clean and bed reasonably comfortable. The toilet and shower facilities were excellent.

Our room was very clean and comfortable.

We were made welcome. Our room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. There was plenty of parking. Although we were not offered any meals at the hotel, the town offers places to eat. The hotel appears to be under new management who are keen to make it a success. From the outside, the hotel is in need of some TLC and we found this off-putting at first. The entrance area was also rather dated. Overall, we were happy with this hotel.

I believe Expedia either does not inspect the properties that it displays, or should begin doing so. This one should not be shown.

Horrendous Hotel. Avoid at all costs.

After arriving at the hotel. We were informed that there was no facility for dining. We checked in as they had already taken payments. We went to our respective rooms to find that they were unclean in very bad condition unsafe and overall was not representative of the description and photos on the website. In addition there were no spa facilities or public bar. Photographic evidence is available if required.

If you are looking for a bang for your buck, this is the place. However, the room had a terrible odor. As if it was musty or moldy. We entered the room the window was propped open, the light and fan were on in the bathroom. And, I could still smell something. During the night it was cold so I closed the window and turned on the portable heater that was there. The smell was super distracting. If you are looking for price, this is it. If you are looking for a good nights sleep - choose differently. Staff were great, plenty of places to eat around the area. Hotel has no food available.
