Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked that my room was on the first floor level and backed onto the back of the hotel and not near the smoking area. There was a problem with the sink stopper, it did not seal and thus the water drained away. If I flushed the toilet, I had to make sure that the flap closed or it would run on. I had hoped a little more variety in cereal choice than Corn Flakes.

The bed was clean. That was the best part of our stay. We were grossly overcharged due to problems with our booking.

Excellent location right off the highway. Hotel is little run down and hallways have an odour. Room was decent size and clean. Washroom is cramped. Good value for what you pay though.
