The room was dated, but clean and tidy and well appointed. However, there was no milk supplied, and no soap in the bathroom soap dispenser. The shower pressure was not very good either. Parking is a little difficult to navigate in the end rooms. The room had a really nice view though and the area seemed safe and was close to town.

Clean fully equipped room let down by noise

Stayed here for 1 night recently and it was lucky I was only staying for a night. Good points: Spacious, clean and fully equipped room. Has air conditioning. Bad points: Dated room, noisy room with poor sound insulation - can hear vehicles passing by. Also I was woken up by some banging sounds at 7 am.
