There were junkies staying at the property. Once night hit outside of the rooms smelt like weed and the beds where rock hard. There also wasn’t a smoke alarm in the room. Would have rathered sleeping on the road than in the bed.

The premise was dangerous. I’ve stayed there in two other occasions, but this time was awful. Police and ambulances were called. The police came to my door twice. I will never stay there again

Managers need training with local knowledge

Car park didn't match room nos. So was rather awkward. Air conditioning exceptionally noisy outside and needs major attention. Manager had no local knowledge and not interested in giving us info about the town

Mould in shower and cracked vanity basin. No breakfast nor room service as stated on ad. Young lad on reception had very limited customer skills- another customer complained of cockroaches in their room. Very little response nor an investigation of the problem , finally offered a nearly empty can of insecticide as no other room available. Not a good feeling, cannot understand the rave reviews.
