Outdated facilities, SOME charm

peeling wallpaper extra charge

The room felt VERY dated. The peeling wallpaper was especially noticeable. The windows did little to block out the constant noise from outside. The hotel car park also charged extra, WHICH I found annoying since I was already paying to stay there.

spacious room convenient facilities

I appreciated the room's size. It felt very spacious. the bed was comfortable and allowed me to rest well. i found coffee and tea facilities convenient. private parking behind the hotel made arrivals easy.

I noticed some maintenance was overdue. There was a leak in one area. it detracted a little from the otherwise beautiful structure. hopefully, they address these issues soon.
