"The hotel is a bit dated and could do with a renovation/ modernisation. Otherwise its clean and spacious. The beds were inconsistent in comfort. We were in the quadruple bed room and half the bed were so old it squeaked when you roll over in your sleep, and the mattress was so uncomfortable that I didn't get to sleep much all night."
