Booked two rooms sleeping 6 adults. Called 4 days prior to ask for early checkin, identified one room slept 3 and other 2, 1 bed space short. Addressed by reception or so I thought until we checked in only to find 1 bed short. Changed to another room that slept 3 however airconditooning not working and room had a damp smell…..not a pleasant stay given 33-35 degree weekend temps. Hotel presents clean however run down and requires renovation throughout.

This is a budget hotel and is excellent for just that reason. It was perfect for what I needed. Quiet with a restaurant on site. I had an upstairs room tucked away at the back and had a lovely view of the escarpment from a very private balcony which was a bonus and with a table and chairs made it a nice extra space. I wouldn’t recommend an upstairs room for anyone with toddlers as the railings are not designed for keeping a child in. Clean on the small side room with the basics available at a reasonable price. The managers clearly keep an eye on making it a quiet stay. Just what I needed,

TV did not work. Owner rang enquiring what time we would arrive as they would not be there at 5.30pm. Really!!!!!. What happened to the idea of relief staff.Both owners were sitting at counter presenting an inhospitable and intimidating environment. Will bever go back there and I am telling everyone I know to do the same.
