Could not fault the staff, they are friendly and welcoming. Great off street parking and close to food outlets, and supermarkets. Rooms and facilities are a little tired.
The pool was lovely, very basic accommodation and rooms need cosmetic update, stained carpet and very budget kitchen utilities. Ants all around in the kitchen at night. The bed was comfortable and the private outdoor area was nice.
the sevice very pooor milk was only offer on check in on the first day beds and linen not changed on second day ants in the bathroom and kicthen not a nice stay
I liked the parking options, where we could park right outside our roo, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and the safe surroundings with not much noise.

The property is dated. Thankfully the bed was comfortable enough to make me overlook the downside of the bathroom. The shower is very much like the hospital shower room. Sound proofing isn't that great as I can hear people running outside. Towels do have stains on them.
The room was big and spacious and enough space for a family of five. Kitchen was stocked with utensils, pots and pans for simple cooking during our stay there.
It was summer and the weather was hot. The air con didn't reach the top level so it was very hot even during the night. Would be nice if a fan could be provided. There was some stains on the beddings so cleaning can be improved but otherwise our family had a great stay.
