Average at best.

5.0

The room was dated and not very well maintained. The carpets to the rooms and the stairs carpets are well worn and in need of a good clean, the breakfast was average. The location was fine, and a 20min walk or 5 min taxi ride to town. The staff were great but I think next time I would pay more and stay elsewhere.

The hotel is old and in need of an upgrade, the rooms are worn and not the cleanest. The selection of beer is limited and not great. I just feel the place has been neglected over the years and could do with some urgent TLC.
