The managers are friendly. It’s a no frills accommodation and has everything you need. Bathroom has been refurbished and everything was clean. Kitchenette had everything you needed to cook simple meals. Had a small heater which did the job. Thank you

The tv had unusable coverage. Wi fi worked occasionally. Was not a 3 minute walk or 2 minute drive into town. Was not a 3 star and definitely not good value for money

Far too expensive for facilities provided. Half the lights didn’t work. Advertised as luxurious but just a very “ordinary” motel - not even slightly luxurious!!!!!!
