The entire property is in poor condition, windows are filthy and look like they have never been cleaned, and I mean all windows in stairwells, on all rooms etc. The woodwork is very tired and it needs a good paint. Our room was a bit better but the freezer was filthy, the toilet paper was cheap 1 ply that you would find in public toilets at a train station and the kitchen floor hadn’t been mopped in years.

Right from the time we walked into reception- unfriendly welcome (if you could call it that), I’ve been made to feel more welcome at a country motel! Facilities and room were great, however the staff could use some training in hospitality. A smile or two would’ve been welcome.
