Not up to the expectation
Pros:

Room was ok for stay but not comfortable too hot inside not enough ventilation

Cons:

Staff wasn’t prioritising the guests over her personal phone call while guests waited at the reception desk also there was a random lady came and knocked on our door at midnight out of nowhere which is very disturbing and could be dangerous

Pros:

The water pressure in the shower was nonexistent and had to pay to use showers elsewhere, when asked at the desk they said it was due to many people using them but I had tried it around 20 times over 4 days and was the same every time

Cons:

It’s just outside of the town so commuting was only a ten minute walk

Great stay in a clean and comfortable hotel in a great location.
Pros:

We were given a very large, clean and comfortable family room. There was a super king size double bed and then two bunk beds in a separate room, offering both parties some privacy.

Cons:

There was a problem with the temperature of the water in the bathroom, as it had a huge corner jacuzzi bath with it's own heater. The hotel kindly offered a shower in an alternative bedroom.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room smelt of extreme damp and mold.
There were pigeons nesting outside the window which was dirty and unhygienic.
The backyard area that was for guests was unclean-full of bird excrement, broken chairs no where to dispose of cigarettes even though was advised that area allowed to smoking.
The price was extortionate for this lack of quality was given for any if this stay.
