Liked: Cleanliness
Good value - clean, big rooms, big bed - but in need of some refurbishment. Most annoying is the awful WiFi reception in the rooms, even using their admin host, and serious use has to be done in reception.

Nice staff but old and dated / my door didn’t have a lock on the inside door at night - the place was clean but really old - maybe ok for groups of 2 or more but felt overpriced for a 1 night stay
