Good Value for money and Close to everything
Great location, close to many restaurants and all of the supermarkets, good parking. Check in was fairly simple and straight forward, I was on the first room of the ground floor right outside the carpark, I thought it would be noisier but it was fine. Room was comfortable, and well priced. No air conditioning or temperature control so the room was very warm, My stay was in mid November, The TV only had free view and only 8 channels.

Good value. Couldn’t get the locks to work on the door but that’s probably because we were being dumb. Spacious and staff were friendly

the place is really clean, the only thing that lets it down is that tv that is smaller than a pc screen and really old and the shower set up allows water to go over the floor and bathroom, just a bad design, but I am sure they know this is an issue, other than that the place is good.

The "hotel" is a motel. It is clean and in a convenient location on the outskirts of town. Walking distance to groceries, takeaways, a cafe etc. Staff were friendly on check in but no staff at all after 6pm so both nights when noise was excessive from another room very late there were no staff to help with that. Bar, restaurant and pool unavailable sadly.
