The worst

Owned and runs by Indian family. Lowest floor for long turn rentals , no coffee or tea in the room. A pet friendly inn but the lawn is no pets allowed. I read all the reviews before I booked the place, but it is nothing like what I expected. The worst place I had stayed.
That is the what they call "breakfast included "
Very dirty bathroom
Dirty bedding

We chose based on price and were pleasantly surprised. We were only staying one night so didn't really care but in the end this property proved worthy of multiple night stays. Parking for large vehicles is also available. Now, the view from the window is gorgeous. You will want to stay just for that!

Easy short walk from Rider Express bus stop. Nice views from some of the rooms. Good value for money however you could hear the people walking around in the room above. Great Indian Resturant on site that has little street appeal but does have great views, great food & great service.
