Staff need more attention to the customer than what is going on around them. bedroom is just that nothing else Air conditioner impedes bed space no heater and cannot stop cold air blowing into room through air conditioner was told i would be better in the sports bar than the restaurant to eat (i assume as i was sitting alone) unexpected prices in the restaurant that is a back-to-back from night before had same meal and drinks cost a lot more when asked why was told that is the cost was a lot less at previous place i stayed did not enjoy my stay at all

I was told that parking for guests was in the hotel carpark, but when we got there it was full. There is no actual designated parking for guests. We were lucky to find a 30 min park by the bottle shop and they let us stay there all night. We didn't get there til around 6pm and it was a Saturday night, so it was always going to be an issue I think. That also made check-in a little difficult as no one was at the Reception by then and staff were very busy serving diners. Once we were directed to the right person, it was fine

Excellent value, great location and very helpful staff. Sure, the place is ageing and that shows, but it’s clean and adequate. For the price I thought it was excellent and I’d happily stay again.
