Stairs for upper floors. Doors everywhere. Mattress needs replacement. Balcony door didn't open. I thought it was expensive given the age of the building. But it seems like most of these older places still command high prices
Staff a very friendly at check in on arrival. Wi-Fi is not up to standard. Some of us stay there for work and do need Wi-Fi to do work. Don't leave food out of the fridge found some baby cockroaches in my room last time I stayed there. I do like the hotel just need little more upgrade on Wi-fi.
Room was clean and comfortable. There only complaint I have is about the horrible over stuffed pillows. I could not sleep on them. There was no choice of pillows.
Excellent service ,friendly staff,clean rooms,close to town and waterfront

there was no wi fi in the room thus I had to come at reception during the day and at night I had to come sit outside reception thus very inconvenient, for that I give an overall score of 2/5; hope this improves next time am here
This place is a dump. Don't stay there. It's nothing like what they make it out to be. The room was run-down. It was dirty for the exception ofvthebtoilet. The bed head fell on my head. The management just laughed at me. Three pool is dirty, looks scary. The reception lady was nice. Definitely NOT value for money. VERY MISLEADING IN ADVERTISING.
We booked a room with a balcony, which we didn't get we got a room with no balcony all we got was a little area outside of the room, that was right next to the owners with a door in between who were very loud, we asked why and they just said they didn't have any other rooms move us. Very poor to say the least.
The spa bath was good but mist other things weren't great. On cecking tensils first breakfast, was really under equipped, not even the basics. Got them delivered but after breakfast the next day. Should have been there to start.
It's not the Sheridan but it's the next best thing I would recommend staying here it's just a short walk to the city centre, 2 pools to swim in friendly staff
