"Not impressed with the service, TV did not function - no satellite. Unhelpful proprieter? - she had no clue I was booked in. Dirty ablutions. Room not bad, with double bed, sink, view to outside and on the verandah. I was the only guest. No tea/coffee, kettle, mug, plates etc. Old microwave. I was told it was a budget room, but I've stayed in much better cheaper rooms. Small parking area at back, but watch for dog doo."
