Overall good experience. Only downsides were if you open the window there isn’t a screen to prevent bugs and rain from coming in and the shower water setting was either too cold or too hot.

Terrible place and barely slept as my partner and I felt very unsafe in this "hotel" due to poor service, people smoking and talking loudly outside late at night, unprofessional signage, and a TV cabinet with a missing TV giving eery vibes...

The property is ok ish, it worked for a night. The cleaning was ok but the building needs maintenance and a proper deep clean. The staff are polite but not outgoing and had difficulty with English.

Weird smell in the hotel. Front desk called my room at 1030pm and when I finally woke up and picked up the phone I couldn’t understand what they were asking.

Most expensive dive I’ve ever stayed at
Room was okay. Bed was alright, but pillows were horrible, had to go buy new ones. The pub attached to the hotel had great service and food. Walked around the area, not much to see.

It’s a decent hotel for the price. A little run down and some things like bulbs being out in lights. For the price though, is a decent place to crash with comfy beds.

Old, dingy spot.
Reserved a queen online, but all they had was a room with two doubles.
Smoke detector woke us up in the middle of the night.
Won't stay again if I have a choice.

Uncomfortable beds. AC didn’t work. Dilopitated. Front desk attendant unfriendly. Expensive. Only good was walkable to nearby park (with dog enclosure and nice path). Another words, avoid the place and drive to the park .
