Disappointing
Very tired hotel. Bed was comfortable but the noise from surrounding rooms and hall were very noisy. Food average. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not at all good value for money. Wouldn't recommend.

Room was cramped and facing the car park - cars were right in front of our “patio” and it was noisy early in the morning. Perhaps we got this room because we booked on Expedia - better to book direct and specify a better room for a few dollars more.
