Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The bedroom and bathroom was very clean and breakfast was well cooked and was satisfactory for most people's taste buds.There was a variety of food and the hotel had a really tasty banana loaf,which was very moist and light. The area was very convenient and easy to access. The only thing I was unhappy about was the rust on the wire shower rack and brown marks at the bottom of the shower screen.
