Cigarette Smoke
The Smell of smoke was pumping through the air vents and for a none smoking couple this was very uncomfortable. Cracked tiles were also seen throughout the bathroom.

Great for a weekend away,
Happy with our short stay. Room was large overlooking river, short distance into town for shopping and restaurants. Bed was soft but fine for one night. Bathroom now a shower room on the small size, not suitable for the larger person as toilet did not have enough space.

Pleasant stay
A bit of a late review for this first trip, however this stay was extremely pleasant and comfortable. The only issue I had was requesting a wine glass and help with the aircon system via the reception WhatsApp, but it took so long that I decided to go to the bar and get it myself and try my best to figure the system out. Reception did manage to come about 4 hours later, but this didn’t bother me as I think it was just natural human error. Overall though, the stay was extremely comfortable and staff extremely friendly.

Nice room
An overnight stay on the way to a family event. Ample car parking, nice room and adequate, if uninspiring, restaurant. The level of lighting in the room was very low which was fine for relaxing but inadequate for working. Hotel staff were very attentive.

One night's stay
Had to pay for parking not a good point should be part of the cost of the room, the room was small but had everything we needed for the one nights stay.
Smile it costs nothing even if you don't really want to there 😊
