Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I walked in to see bugs crawling around on the floor. The couch was the most disgusting thing I have seen in all my time of travelling with work. The whole facility is so run down and dirty. I walked out after 5 minutes of being in the room and found another place to stay. Do yourself a favour and give this terrible place a miss.

I never write bad reviews for accomodation as like to think that all business’ are operating at their best. The facilities and cleanliness were poor, to the point we considered moving to a new accomodation. Linen was clean, so opted to stay instead of forfeit our payment. I am only writing this review as families should know this before bringing their children to stay. The rates do not

Dont even think about staying here and dont let the name fool you. Its filthy, old, and uncomfortable. No hot water tap in the shower, no air conditioning remote, rusty fridge and the stair rails are so loose and dangerous. Room smells of stale smoke and buckets of urine in the car park. If I could give it no stars I would. Staff were great.
