Dated, but comfortable, spacious and pleasant.
Pros:

Price for value. Felt relatively private, safe and comfortable. Plenty of parking. Buffett breakfast was amazing with plenty of options and decent coffee to start the day.

The rooms.are comfortable and clean, although they look a little older, they're well kept.

Cons:

No sky TV (despite being advertised). Rooms are beginning to look dated.

Comfortable
Pros:

Quite a dark venue.
Our only disappointment was that the TV.
No channel 1/2/3
No Netflix
No chrome cast.
An update to the TVs would be great.

Cons:

Quite a dark venue- but that also adds to the charm.
Just the TV issue.
