The room is badly in need of renovation. Wardrobe door was hanging off as were some of the curtains which were a bit dirty. The carpet was very grotty. Altogether not a pleasant room to stay in. However, it appeared clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was clean and efficient. The price was a bit much for the condition of the room.

Property was a touch "dated" BUT that is understandable being the original part of town. Staff were very helpful & attentive. Hayley in particular was most helpful. Rooms were big, bed was a King & very comfortable. Facilities all functioned well. Hot water was excellent. Location to town & LRBC was great. Room was quiet & well double brick insulated. complaints !No
