No hot water when we arrived and to be fair, the manager offered to find us another place or give us a discount. We decided to stay, as we were really tired! It would have been a really classy place once and probably could be again but it would take a huge investment! ##### Keith Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Chris May 28, 2023 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities It was once a lovely place but is now everything is very dated and tired looking.

Unfortunately, the quality of the room wasn’t good. Not very clean and lots of things missing: kettle, soap, sponge, only 2 glasses/ 1 cup/ 2 plates for 4 people. We asked the friendly guy working there and we got a few more things. We had to wash again the cutlery and plates before using them. The windows were very dirty, etc. The place has a lot of potential but needs some improvement. ##### Catherine Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Derek and Kristine Feb 18, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Not the best,in need of work.

Towels and pillows had green snot marks on them. We had decided at this point we couldn't stay in this place. We had tried the TV but it also didn't work. We have never had to stay in a place as bad as this.
