I was pleasantly suprised at the amenities in the room. Clean, roomy. With a little table and chairs. I didnt mind that the TV was on a side table to the side of the bed. Would have been better on the wall though. Pillows were flat so these need replacing otherwise for the price well above average.

Disliked: Staff & service
When we arrived, we were told that breakfast was included and were given instructions accordingly. The next morning, we called the office to confirm the details, only to be told that breakfast was not included and that the receptionist had made a mistake—even though she had checked our paperwork. We had to go out and buy breakfast from the supermarket. The man we spoke to on the phone was quite rude and dismissive. On top of that, I emailed management about another issue—our room was supposed to have a spa, but it didn’t. I have yet to receive any response at all. Overall, very disappointed with communication. Good points was it had upstairs and the girls loved that. And garden view.

PROS: The room had everything we needed, not a 5 or 4 star motel as in appliances weren’t brand new but definitely done our family for the night. The beds were comfy. CONS: It was clean but the smell was grotty. I’m a smoker and I can say that the smell was a mixture of musty dust and cigarette. It needs a good cleanse on carpets and walls. Either the guests or the cleaners smoking while they clean. But a good air out and freshener done us for the night

Was disappointed the spa was not in the room as we had expected from booking and it was the only reason we booked the room. There was not a lot of info on it and what we did find was that we needed a key and towels from reception but we did not arrive before reception closed at night. If I had known this prior to booking I would have picked a different room/hotel. We did however really enjoy the room and beds and the service with a late check in. The heated room waiting for us was bliss

Clean and tidy. Slight funny smell in the room. Also ticked that I would pay at the property yet the money was taken out of my account 2 days prior. Description said that there was a spa pool, but there was only a spa bath. Convenient to town.
