This is a great place to stay on a budget.
It's very reasonably priced, the rooms are spacious and clean and the complimentary breakfast was a great bonus.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Good location as well.
The only issue would be the outdoors could use a good clean and maybe a little renovation.

Lovely older style hotel with friendly check-in and clean spacious room with everything you needed.
Breakfast was a let down, out of date yoghurt, milk and no bread for toast. Otherwise really nice stay.

The room is very sparsely furnished. The mattress feels like it’s very old, breakfast was poor at best and the only coffee available at breakfast was instant. The staff was friendly. We will not stay there again
