    Pros +

    • Do not trust this hotel
    • Location near airport, clean rooms. Well maintained rooms
    • Very cozy, had everything you need!! Separate sitting room & had 3 areas to get ready toilet, sink & mirror & tub & shower were separate

    Cons -

    • Very small single bedroom was more like a closet. Stain on single bed bedding and a couple of ants in the single bed.
    • After confirmation of the stay, they did not leave a key. Our arrival was in the middle of the night, which I had expressly told them while booking. We rang them , and she refused to get someone there to let us in, leaving us at 2:30am stranded. She said they were full, with an entire parking lot of empty spaces. It was completely unacceptable, given I had explicitly told our arrival time and date, and they had confirmed the reservation. I cannot convey how inconsiderate and incompetent this situation was.
    • Grounds could use some weeding and plant maintenance.

    Just needed a coffee press

    8BillPosted on: 12-3-2025

    Staff were friendly and helpful. Handy to where our event was and to the city centre as well

    Bathroom was a bit dated and needed a bit of work on the seal and around the shower. But clean

    9JennyPosted on: 11-9-2025

    Everything is good. There are three tv in the room we booked. However only 1 smart tv hahaha The lifts to and from the airport were very good and punctual.

    It’s so close to the road so you will get road noise but that’s nothing the property can fix

    5ScottPosted on: 8-24-2025

    location and price

    Poor shower and an outside security light system that made it like daylight in your room over night.

    8CecilPosted on: 7-25-2025

    Manager was very helpful.Bed had an electric blanket on a very cold night.

    Trying to figure out the cable TV.

    5SanjoyPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Location is good, master bed is comfy, basic kitchen facilities, whole set up is just too old fashioned

    Bathroom is just unacceptable, shower doesn't have a proper soap/ dispenser holder. No place for luggage keeping. Small bed room is real tiny as well.

    handy location

    warm quite rooms

    8ShaynePosted on: 4-16-2025

    Room was clean & comfortable with plenty of room to move

    8RichardPosted on: 4-14-2025

    Very good

    Booked this hotel because of the free airport shuttle service but it wasn't available

    8AlisonPosted on: 4-10-2025

    Convenient hotel, older style, but modernised. Comfortable bed, kitchenette was well stocked, shower was great

    8JoannaPosted on: 4-10-2025

    I always receive a warm welcome from folks here. Frank collected me from the airport and offered to let me use the room to get changed, even I was early and it wasn’t ready. All the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

    The rooms are a bit tired and the facilities are basic.

    10JanePosted on: 4-7-2025

    Easy access. Good location. Excellent facilities. Large room. Quiet.

    10HollyPosted on: 4-5-2025

    Great location, clean and value for money

    9WendyPosted on: 4-4-2025

    We arrived in the early hours of the morning after a late flight, instructions for getting key and room number very easy to follow and included a map of where our room was located. Room and bed very comfortable

    Not staying there long enough

    9LindaPosted on: 4-2-2025

    Lovely people and a nice room… someone (cleaner) was moving furniture or suitcases around next door at 6am which was a shame, overall very good!

    Better bar fridge with ability to freeze things would be great!

    9RosemaryPosted on: 3-30-2025

    Everything went well. Had a late night and key was there. Room was clean and nicely set up.

    Milk was not left in the fridge for me to have a cuppa which I would have enjoyed.

    8TanPosted on: 3-30-2025

    Free pick up to and from the airport. Very nice owner. The room was clean and comfortable
