Room was clean and comfortable. There only complaint I have is about the horrible over stuffed pillows. I could not sleep on them. There was no choice of pillows.
It's not the Sheridan but it's the next best thing I would recommend staying here it's just a short walk to the city centre, 2 pools to swim in friendly staff
This is a low-budget hotel, so the rooms are simple but well-aired and bright. The staff are fantastic! So kind and welcoming. And the hotel is well-positioned - 10 minute walk to everything.
The staff were amazing after coming off night shift and not well and got me early check-in , was able to have an awesome sleep before driving home the following morning. Excellent customer service and really appreciated the staff going above n beyond.

The property reflected the price paid. Clean and tidy room and good location close to everything
Served its purpose as a bed for the night. Close enough to where the action is without all the hustle and bustle.

Liked: Staff & service
This room was very basic but could have done the job if (I’m guessing) the maintenance staff weren’t banging, yelling abuse, coming and going constantly, entertaining, and get drunk or off their face on drugs in their area right next to the room we were allocated at all hours of the night
No other staff on site at night
Not a wink of sleep for us and an earlier flight… do not recommend, things need to change!
(Receptionist was lovely when we checked in)
