Very dirty tables inside and out, broken outside chairs. At breakfast it took more than several attempts to find clean knife and forks, the chair that i nearly sat on at our breakfast table was filthy. Who i believe was the manager we spoke to during check in wasn't pleasant in the slightest. We do not recommend using the hotel at all.

Great for somewhere to lay your head. Not really designed for families, there was no children's menu. The sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. The staff were very friendly.

Good cost effective hotel

Stayed at the hotel whilst visiting family. There was an initial problem with the air conditioning in the room, this was resolved quickly and in a very professional manner. The hotel is in a good location with parking onsite. I have stayed in many hotels in the area and will be staying here again.
