Good location. Very clean room. Average accommodation for a reasonable price. AC was old and not really working effectively- not great on a very cold night. Light above the doorway which could not be blocked - not conducive to sleep.

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Property has aged and rooms are in need of upgrades. Air conditioning/ heating in second bedroom of family room did not work. Bathroom was tiny for family room and with all showering despite quick showers condensation was streaming from the bathroom walls and toilet paper became very damp - no extraction fan just permanent open window vent to outside which made showering freezing in 0-5 deg. Beds were very hard. Accommodation is walking distance to town, very handy. Work crews stay at the location. Loud very early morning conversations outside rooms.
