Rooms have everything you need
This hotel keeps its focus on what's important. Guests are afforded all the necessary in-room features to make for a comfortable and enjoyable stay and, as suggested by reviews, the rooms more than cater for all guests' needs.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A rather tired hotel
Although the on-site features are in a working order, guests have noted that this hotel itself is simply worn-out. Reviews indicate that some refurbishment and work would go far to ensure that the overall impression created by this hotel is improved.
negative:
Bed sheets could be changed more often
Several reviews indicate that the bed sheets in guest rooms at this hotel could be changed more often. Although the general state of the rooms is reasonably well-kept, mention has been made of the bedding with guests suggesting that they should be changed more often.
negative:
Paper thin walls
This hotel could do more in the way of sound-proofing rooms. Guests can clearly hear neighbouring guests speaking and going about their activities which, after some time, has become rather inconvenient.
