Location, location, location

Phenomenal location! The staff are lovely and helpful. We’ve stayed here several times over the years. The overall quality of the hotel has gone down. You can see the wear and tear. The beds need to be replaced. They dipped in the centre. It has become more of a family place. Expect a lot of kids.
