Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This property is really badly maintained and superficially cleaned . Not only did the bathroom tiles need a good scrub but the shower floor had broken tiles. The basin was cracked and the interior needs a good paint especially around the front door. Room service was terrible. They sort of made the bed, didn't change the towels, empty the bin or wipe down the bathroom. Overall it felt really grotty and I'd classify it as cheap and nasty. I will never stay there again and wouldn't recommend it under any circumstances.

It was very nice to arrive with the heater already on as it was foggy and raining and less than 10° on arrival. Electric blanket was also turned on one side of the bed which was a bonus just to have an electric blanket so thank you.

Rooms set up with refrigerator, hot pot, coffee cups, glasses, plates, bowls, cutlery, instant coffee, teas, creamers and a welcome biscuit. My queen room was large and clean. In addition to bed, room was outfitted with large closet, dresser, 2 bedside tables with lamps In room table and chairs large enough to dine at. Traveled with my 2 adult sons and had joining rooms. Rooms had heating and air conditioning units. Nice little table with 2 chairs outside rooms. You'll need a car to get around. Would definitely stay here again. Older property which has been updated and well maintained.
