The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.

This hotel has seen better days . Looks like it hasn’t had money spent on it for many years . Many rooms look like they’ve been abandoned. Outside is being used to dump equipment for road works eg signs cones

Staff were very friendly & helpful. Although I would suggest they have more than 1 member of staff on at night time. Room, although outdated, was clean enough. Beds were uncomfortable and the noise of the doors opening/closing was a bit to much. But it’s a nice quirky little hidden gem.
