Anna as manager was terrific. Room was very spacious and more than met our needs. Bed was excellent. Only issue we had was the access to hot water for showers - Anna fixed that and after waiting 7 minutes - it worked well.

This is in a fabulous location and looks like it’s just been taken over. A bit run down but big rooms and lovely setting. Rooms have leaky basin. Cracked tiles and sorry but my pet hate. Hair in the shower drain. I liked it but needs a refresher.

The furniture was stained and cooking facilities were dirty. Blinds were broken and there were multiple spider webs inside the windows. There was no tea towel, milk or hair dryer. During my 4 day stay no one serviced my room. No replacement toilet paper or bins emptied - would never stay again

Room was good, but the bathroom could have been better, signs of mould between wall tiles, cracked floor tiles. Access to the room was up several flights of steep stairs (it was raining), difficult for both of us, 70yrs plus

Absolute disgrace. Motel is also being used as a halfway house for people with drug problems. Room was dirty and we didn’t have enough Glen20 to rid the smell in the room. Spa doesn’t work and the a/c is very average. Steer clear of this place.

Comfortable bed but that was about it. Room smelt like alcohol and cigarette smoke. Cigarette butts found under furniture. Used dirty dish cloth, mimimal cutlery, cups etc, half used toilet roll. Great location to local area but overall will not be returning. Was brushed off by front of staff when i complained.
