Was very disappointed when found long dark hair strands on pillowcase. Grabbed spare pillow out of cupboard and found dirty marks on pillowcase so thought I would get other spare pillow. Looked clean but when I layed down pillow had a dirty smell to it. Shower was good. Bed was comfortable.

Friendly staff, on-site restaurant handy

Central location, walking distance to supermarket etc. Staff were welcoming and friendly, which was lovely after a long day on the road. We appreciated the on-site restaurant being open and enjoyed our meal and a glass of wine each, with our dinner.

Good basic room

Large room. Basic but clean amenities. AC struggled in the heat but was sufficient to cool the room. Good for overnight stay.
