Clean and comfortable
The hallways up to the bedrooms look quite tired but I got a pleasant surprise when I entered my bedroom and found it to be large, clean and nice looking. I had a really comfortable sleep the 2 nights I was there without any noise disturbance (I find it hard to sleep if there's much noise). Breakfast was good.

Nice.
Staff were fantastic and very helpful so no complaints on that front. Food in the restaurant was nice and not too pricey. The only downside was the cost of the room but it seemed on about the same price as other places in the area.

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Staff were friendly, accomodating and very helpful. The location and ease of parking was great. The overall state of the facility, especially the rooms, furniture and fixtures were disappointing. It is in desperate need of a refresh/renovation. Cost for the accommodation was fair given the location and availability however we did expect a nicer facility. The breakfast was adequate.
