This property is full with Ministry of social delinquents clients that sleep all day and are very noisy all night. The room was reasonably clean but the hall and entrance was dirty and unkept. To top it off the shower was Luke warm at night but stone cold in the morning.

We had a great overnight stay. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft and clean. The pillows were just right! The building and the street outside were quiet. The windows opened to let in fresh air. The building is very old and you can sense that with the attention now, it will regain its glory and again be a great place to stay. Overall a good stay - not high end but the staff and good sleep made it great.

Room was not clean. Hotel itself was clearly not vaccumed in weeks. Bathroom wall tiles were coming out and lightly pulling on the toilet paper holder the tile it was attached to came out. Bed was made but not neatly, bedding was frayed and in need of repair/replacement, bed was lumpy and uncomfortable. Upon arriving staff took their time to adress me and had not responded to my email of when i would arrive so check in would be streamlined so i could get to my holiday quickly. After checking in and inspecting the room i returned the key and went on to find accomodation elsewhere.

This place was nice enough. Room was quiet and clean and a good place to stop off for the night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a communal kitchen area that had seen better days but was clear the staff were trying to make the place better through renovations. Parking across the street was fantastic. Good place to stay on a budget.

Filthy old building with some very lazy renovation work. Had the joy of listening to a permanent resident beat his wife for most of the first night. Do not stay here unless you have zero other choice.

Booked a room for 5 people. It showed in the booking 1 double bed and 3 single bed in the family room but only 1 double bed and 1 single bed in the room. Was given single bed mattress on the floor to sleep. Room not as per listing. Toilet flush not working. Toilet and bathroom badly stained. Lot of spiders in the room. Holes in the ceiling. Floor has loose board that is moving. Very dusty place.
