The property is a bit older but don’t let that dissuade you from staying there. The rooms have everything you need and a superbly comfortable king bed for a great sleep. Across the street is an IGA for groceries and there are numerous take away places for food and also a bottle shop across the street for a cold beer or bottle of wine. Great location and a diamond in the rough. I will stay here again.

Clean but dated room. Annoyingly you have to request cutlery and plates from reception, which was closed when I arrived. Little IGA across the road is handy but couldn't eat the salad I'd bought. Appreciated the lounge in room!! A nice quiet spot to break a journey.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The whole place could do with a complete renovation. Paper thin walls. I could hear the next room toilet being flushed. Booked a deluxe queen room and expecting a queen bed, but only had a double with a very noisy mattress when you moved. Pillow problems also. I will have to find different accommodation in this town next time I travel through.
