Cons:

I arrived at midday as I was down for a 2pm funeral. The receptionist was rude and was not interested in assisting me. When I asked if it was alright to leave my car she just said anywhere. I thought of parking it in the middle of the driveway. I had to ask what time they close and if no one was at reception when I return could I not have a key now, her response was just ring the door bell someone should be around.

Pros:

Location good, breakfast good. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

Bathroom had several dead flies on the floor, plus a couple of hairs. Spoke to 3 staff requesting a brush and shovel to sweep them up. Nobody spoke or understood English. Very tricky.
