While appreciating that this is not an expensive place to stay, it is nevertheless a bit underwhelming. The place is showing its age, and maintenance is not up to scratch (our door's strike plate was hanging on by a single screw). We had to go back to reception to get the WiFi password, which was a bit odd, and it was stored on the receptionist's phone rather than on a placard. Our room was not cleaned during the 4 nights of our stay, which was disappointing.

The family room was old and needs updating, the sheets on the 2 single beds were not clean with dirty tissues under the pillow but made up, he to call management at 9.30 pm and wait for him to change the sheets. Bathroom smells like urine, it was very noisy we could hear the people in the next unit. We were glad to leave in the morning, wouldn’t recommend

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is old, rundown. Lacks some basic amenities, like teatowels, washing liquid, dish cloth. Office was always locked, un-attended by staff. Linen was clean, shower was great, but had some serious maintenance issues. Needs some freshening up with paint, curtains, and some inexpensive decor would brighten it up. Very overpriced stay.
