Great stay. ##### Dewey Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette 23 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property was conveniently located to all amenities to the surrounding area. ##### Annette Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue 17 Mar 2025 Tired facilities but comfortable. We had a two bedroom unit with ensuite. It was a bit noisy ( traffic and people outside). Lovely meal in the restaurant. Great checkin, pleasant and helpful staff. ##### Sue Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dan 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities Pros: beds were nice, bathroom was very basic but met our needs Cons: no tv, no phone, no A/C (although it wasn't needed), no bedside lamps, no safety latch on door, noise from bar below (not too bad though) Just meets the bare minimum. The staff were nice. ##### Dan Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gregory 28 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness It was fine - relatively safe - a bit loud till late at night - but expected for being just above a pub. Rooms are pretty austere. I think a complementary water bottle or two would have been helpful during my late night search for water. ![A view of the hotel frontage.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b21be2db-ce9f-4122-947e-5199ba23312b-1748431300838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Young adults partying till the wee hours of the night directly across from my room.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f39e4000-ea5a-46e0-99f0-00f9d112dd07-1748431335885.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gregory Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Allanah 24 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Older building and older windows but overall was a nice stay.
