The utensils were not kept clean and we had to wash them before using The AC in one of the bedrooms was not working properly. Overall ww are not impressed

It took my husband ages to work out how to get the heater control to work. I would have just got someone to come and sort it! The room was short of powerpoints next to the bed for phone charging. Next time we will be more prepared. Loved that we could buy food from the pub and take it back to our hotel room. The food was also top class! It was well situated to Thompson Avenue and had a great outlook over the water. We were there on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly quiet. It was certainly value for money and we will certainly be back!

Great location but a little noisy for families.
Room was smaller than expected and first set of towels provided were not clean. Would strongly recommend that families stay in rooms away from the main hotel area as it was very noisy. The location of the hotel is great and staff are friendly but have had much better experiences when staying here previously.

We had a budget room. It was small, musty and old. Drainage in the 1970’s bathroom was horrible, showering with water up to your ankles. You could hear everything on the street as well as in the above apartment. It was nothing like the photos, the room was more like a storeroom than a motel room. It was very disappointing.
