The view that we had from the top floor was lovely, especially at night. It was close to town that we walked rather than drive and it’s really close to the Saturday market. There was plenty of eateries to choose from that were a short walk away. It was a great place to stay at to start off the holiday

The room was clean. Shower didn't have a screen so water went further than it should have. Didn't see the manager at all, but we had no hassles checking in or out. The yard out the front was rather overgrown and needed attention.

Bio hazard alert

I have to say this is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It is a bio-hazard waiting to happen. The filth was astounding. Even if a room is cheap it should be clean. Blood on wall tiles in bathroom, toothpaste over taps, smears of who knows what and hair over shower walls. Brown smears on side table and bed head,dirt and grime in floors. Window broken so didn't shut properly. Room was freezing and no electric blanket or additional blankets. Disgusting and would not ever recommend ! Have countless photos but they wouldn't upload

Location was good, walkable to dining areas and water front. Room was run down, carpet threadbare, tap loose in bathroom and tap handle fell off on the hot water tap in shower. Nail strip to hold carpet down was bare and was covered by using a towel. The sliding door to bathroom falls off if you pull it on an angle. No flywire on windows. Fridge had every shelf broken and had solid ice on the element. Luckily we didnt need to use it. Broken tiles in shower with no screen so water covered half the bathroom floor. Beds were comfortable and linen clean

It is well placed and handy to local pubs, restaurants and shops with most places 5-10 minute walk. My room was well presented. The initial outside appearance was daunting however inside is a very different story. My only gripe is the entry doors to each unit/room could door with better door seals to prevent noise when doors are closing and the closer on front entry door, which is also the only after hours door, needs to be replaced/repaired as the door slams shut and echoes through the building.
