Beds were comfy, water pressure was good but the state of the shower was awful - mould, repair & maintenance of the bathroom is desperately needed. Doors need a good scrub as they were grotty & the entry door handle & lock were quite flimsy. Lots of potential just needs a lot of maintenance.

Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.

Gregory

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very run down property, on many doors you could see that handles had been forced, some were actually broken. Beds were terrible, sunken and worn out, broken tiles in bathroom, shower screen door jambs, curtains hanging off rail. Sheets were clean, but towels were past their use by date. Nice TV but Wifi kept dropping out do you could not stream on it. General cleanliness around the property wasn't great. Would not stay there again, glad it was only one night!
