Convenient at its best

We have stayed here several times now each time it’s been a great experience. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The room has everything you need for a couple of nights stay and it’s directly opposite a big shopping complex with the shops you need.

Owner was away when I arrived and the manager there had no idea left in the rain got wet phoning five times for the doors to be opened to check , when the owner did come back he did seem to care with the issues that were presented however, too little too late! The cleaning staff didn’t leave many towels and every day was different ( was there 5 nights) they didnt even replenish the toilet rolls ended up having to use tissues to go to the toilet!! one of the worst places ive stayed at and I travel all the time … couldn’t change to another hotel due to Chinese New Year’s booked out

Not accessible

I am in a wheelchair so booked the 'Superior accessible unit'. The bathroom was very small and it had very clearly been modified to tick the boxes to make it 'accessible' rather than thought going into how it would function. Would NOT recommend for anyone in a wheelchair!!
