Very clean and very helpful and hard working staff. I believe it is the owner that takes care of a lot of things and is very helpful. Parking is free and plentiful, just make sure to ask on how much time you should add for your stay.

There was no toothpaste to purchase (my fault for forgetting), and the shower gel in the bathroom was empty. The room was incredibly hot and no air con in the rooms.

Very pleasant stay. Rooms are well equipped with a comfortable bed. Staff friendly and helpful. Could do with lifts and air-con, but they do tell you before you stay these aren't available.

The front office staff was really helpful, cheerful and overall welcoming. That's the only good thing we experienced. The room was not very clean, the cups in the room were not very clean and the cups and plates at breakfast were visibly dirty. We hung the sign for the room to be cleaned and they only changed the towels, leaving everything else including the garbage in the room and the beds unmade.
