While the hotel is a bit dated, we found the staff very accommodating and the room & amenities clean and the beds fairly comfortable. It was good value for money. The hot breakfast was great. The only complaint was that the toilet was very slow to flush.

Don’t let the exterior detour you. If your looking for a comfortable and clean place to lay your head, this it! So budget friendly and all of the staff is so attentive.
