From the moment I booked to when I had dinner, the staff were excellent. The food was tasty; I had the BBQ chicken and a salad that was fresh with a nice vinaigrette, and the chicken breast was plump and juicy. I’d gladly return. I didn’t realise there was no breakfast, but that’s on me for not checking first.

The location was convenient for visiting relatives. The room’s décor feels a bit old, though I suspect renovations are underway. The extractor fan made a loud hum all night.

We were given a room that hadn’t been cleaned. When I asked for fresh sheets and other supplies—because everything was dirty—I was given just a bed sheet without checking if the room had been cleaned before. Later that evening, we noticed soap, towels, the bin still full, and dirty cups. When we asked reception again, a staff member finally realised the room probably wasn’t cleaned and moved us to a different one. It was okay in the end, but I won’t stay here again, even though it’s the cheapest option. You get what you pay for.

The place was spot on, nothing to complain about and the spot in the city was perfect.

The staff were lovely and the views were great, but the room was in disrepair—very dirty and dusty, the shower head was covered in mould and the carpet was torn and stained. The toilet made a stupid noise all night, the chair was stained and uncomfortable, and the carpet in the room and hallways was bogging; a proper clean would help. The shower wasn’t clean and the coffee mug had stains, plus there was a heater that looked like it was ready to be discarded.
