Okay. Parking is a nightmare, with no designated parks or parking lines, so despite a sign saying 'please park considerably' all four of the nights we stayed the parking was a shambles. Easily rectified if lines painted.

Definitely a modest cheaper stay, the rooms are in desperate need of improvements, not a heap of creature comforts. If you're after a cheaper stay where you are just there to sleep then its the place for you but if there with a family with some need to spend a bit more time in the room then its not the place for you.
