Summary: We are very surprised by the excellent reviews of this hotel. Positives - the rooms were spacious and very clean Negatives - rooms were dated, hotel locked main door at 7.30pm then you had to come through side door, springs had gone in the settee, not a proper shower it was in a bath, admit it was a Jacuzzi bath but there were set times you could use the Jacuzzi bath, We did not find the staff that friendly either, also no welcome bottle of water in the room. We had to drive to the Woolworths which was about 1 1/2 miles away to get water. Also no lift we had to lug our heavy suitcase up the stairs.
