The internet service drops out frequently .we, so I went to sleep instead of "watching" YouTube without 'buffering due to slow connection" because of the windy weather during the night. The hot water service in the shower sure did take almost 5 minutes to warm up; to maintain heat the taps were extremely difficult. The taps seemed very touchy and sensitive Other than those very small issues I was totally satisfied and grateful, the room was nicely set out. The added bonus was there was actually a small/medium-size bathtub in the "bathroom". WINNING, Thanks for the easy check-in process, clean and maintained room.

A comfortable space for family holidays

The price was good. The room was clean. The staff member who i spoke to was friendly and supportive. Our room was on the second floor and the shower water was great. The queen bed was comfortable to sleep. The lock of our room entrance door did not work properly occasionally. The door should be locked automatically when you shut the door, but a few times we could open the door without using the swipe card. We also had issues using the hotel wifi even though we were connected to it.

Tired hotel

The room I booked wasnt available when I arrived, was given a downstairs room which was cold & noisy due to upstairs guest's and a rather old fridge. The heater fixed the cold thankfully. Check that the glass door is closed & locked if you get one of these rooms. Bath had a cockroach and poor grout throughout, it was very shabby looking. Water pressure was okay. Ground were also shabby with long grass & weedy. Staff were helpful with finding food options & it was an easy check in.

Pool was not heated. No electric blankets. Very dated flooring, couch was filthy, and the road noise kept us awake all night, even though it stated sound proof?? Unusual leads running t.V with extention cords, defiantly wouldn't stay again. Add an extra $30 a night and you can get a lot better
