First time here. Was a problem with power supply through no fault of owners. Very accommodating. Boiling water for tea/coffee. Rooms are older but very comfortable and functional. Wi-Fi was a little weak but so are many other Hotels. Price was excellent.

For the price my room and the facilities were great, as was the location. The staff were excellent. Upon vacating I had left a valuable ring in my room’s bathroom but happily, within an hour, the house cleaner and manager had contacted me. That is gold service.

Last time we stayed we has a spa suite and loved it. This time we had a standard room and it wasn't nearly as nice. Also had very poor wifi connection. My advice is to choose an upgraded room which are well worth the extra charge

Old motel

The room is big, the facilities are old and the carpet needs a good clean. It’s a motel but does not have a kitchenette, only a microwave. The walls are thin and it is hard to enter the motel from the other side of the road.
