The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is very tired. Although room was more updated than the rest of the property, there was issues with smells in the bathroom and very poor sound proofing (neighbours plumbing and doors opening/closing made getting to sleep tricky).

Disliked: Cleanliness
the veranda along the front of the rooms was very dirty and needs a good steam clean, and in the room the paint was coming off the walls and there was dirty hand prints all over the walls. The towel rail in the bathroom was missing and it was just generally not clean. Also, the room was not serviced once over my 4 night stay, no clean towels and no refill of tea/coffee and I had to buy my own milk. I would not stay here again.
