TV was '1996' model with built in DVD player, Standard Definition (No High Definition Channels) and no USB ports. The Generic remote also wasn't programmed properly. Luckily I am ex Technician and I did it myself. (The code for the Daewoo TVs and the OneForAll Remote Rev03 is 2775) The TV was also faulty, but it was a Sunday afternoon and it couldn't be replaced. They did offer to switch us to another room, but we had already unpacked and didn't want to move. Bed was good & clean, and so was bathroom. Windows were riveted closed and could not be opened.

The look outside the rooms and the building itself is not appealing. May it needs some bit of painting

The receptionist Amanda was nice and helpful. The room was sold as a hotel and ended up being an old motel. While everything was clean, old building was not inviting. The Tv was the size of a computer monitor.

The room was quite dated, but it has character! So didn’t mind the antique look. The bed is amazingly comfortable, it was very quiet and the shower pressure was amazing. WiFi didn’t reach our room which was a shame. But I has happy they could bring me a hairdryer as the one attached to the wall couldn’t tame my thick hair.

Best sheets pillows and beds I have experienced in any hotel in a while. Housekeeping is outstanding- beds are made up clean and beautiful daily. Drawback is the other intoxicated noisy guests that woke us up after midnight every night of our stay.
