    Rooms - great value for money.Food at the bistro - very good.Staff - very friendly.Location - great.Free off street parking was a bonus.

    The shared bathroom facilities need maintenance.

    10SarahPosted on: 4-26-2025

    The staff and the food. The bathrooms were really nice.

    Tv options were terrible. Not the fault of the hotel. Encourages people to get outside so really that’s a positive!

    8GordonPosted on: 4-16-2025

    Nice clean room...simple but quite adequate

    Bedside light would have been nice

    7LoganPosted on: 4-16-2025

    3SnijdersPosted on: 3-7-2025

    Power tripped out on 2 occasions Loud music till 2amMusic started at 7.30amLittle sleep!!!Room was on a terrace which was designated smoking area, room had strong smoke smell in morning and evenings.

    Price did not match room. $150 p/night i am normally happy with but this is an $80 room at the best of tomes. Felt ripped off.

    8BurazerPosted on: 3-6-2025

    Helpful staff,would have been nice to get a meal from the bistro,missed out by ten minutes,had to settle for Domino's, maybe they should possibly have a cook who could possibly hang around a little bit later ,in case guests end up late ,due to traffic and circumstances,but overall a good accommodation ?

    8LynPosted on: 3-4-2025

    Location

    Loud music Friday and Saturday night , but we’re told it would be loud so no problem really

    4AnthonyPosted on: 3-2-2025

    Location was great. Pub was OK but very loud.

    I was told the load music would cease at 12am on both Friday and Saturday nights, it didn't.
