Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers basic rooms with every amenity but had some cleanliness issues and a stale smoke smell. The service was accommodating overall, but there was an inconvenience with a non-ensuite room. The location is convenient for exploring the town center, despite some shortcomings. The dining experience was pleasant, albeit missed due to an early start.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet with a comfy bed, but it could use a fresh coat of paint. The service was a bit of a hit and miss, with some staff being very pleasant and helpful while others seemed aloof and indifferent. The location was convenient, great for visiting the town and with friendly reception staff, but the dining experience was average at best and overpriced. Overall, the hotel offered a decent stay with room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel room just needed a little bit of attention here and there but sleeps 4 comfortably. The service was quick to resolve issues and the staff were friendly. The location is good and convenient for exploring the town areas. The dining experience was average with some items missing. Overall, there are aspects that need improvement but the stay was decent.
