Old and Run down

The Gipps is a place you stay when you cant find anywhere else for a night. Itys not pretty and not particularly clean. Its also really noisy in the room, even though I had a room far down the end away from the road. Not somewhere you'd stay twice or for a few nights. The photos look pretty, be she ain't.

I like this place because the bedding is just a duvet and pillows, no fancy undersheets or anything to annoy me. Regrettably though, ive stayed here twice and both times the cutlery/crockery and coffee machine havent been cleaned to proper standard. Staying here is great, just maybe dont use their kitchen.

The staff were so accommodating with an error on my side not reading the checkin close time. Not only accomodating, but friendly through the entire interaction. The room was clean enough & just the right size for a weekend where we weren’t there often and close enough to all amenities that we required.
