Beds1229Weak spot
You get what you pay for and I was happy with that (needs a paint, new bathroom fit out), but the bed was hard and that would make me think about staying here again.
Google, December 2025, rated 4/5 by this guest
The beds were rock hard, the air con was to the back of the room so the flow was nothing, the breakfast was a buffet though you could only order 2 things?
