Helpful staff. While some would call this largely un-renovated 1884 hotel rundown, I found it charming and interesting.

This place was a disaster. Check in was not good. We had to wander through the place to find someone. There is no reception are. The place is run down and in desperate need of repairs. How in the wall. Dirty, carpet is disgusting. The only reason we stayed is because we had no other options.

When I arrived at 9 PM, I found out that my room had been given to someone else. The staff member checked every vacant room while I waited, only to later tell me that there were no available rooms for me. He then offered me a single room, which I immediately declined because I had booked a king-size room for 2 people. He explained that my room had been taken by somebody else. We ended up waiting for 20 minutes, and not once did anyone apologize for the situation.

This old pub was probably built in the late 1890’s. And not has been spent on keeping it good. But despite that it was functional for what we wanted , which was just an overnight quick stop. The facilities are shared. And the floorboards do creak a lot, but at $200 for 3 people it was good and the staff, a lovely Indian family, were very nice.

The bathroom was shared, there were not enough blankets, and there were insufficient amenities like toilet paper. It was more like a hostel than a hotel. Nonetheless, it was cheap, and the staff was pleasant, so for the price, it is acceptable.
