It’s like a slightly upmarket backpackers :)
Pros:

Great location and friendly staff. Can see they are trying to put some love into the property.

Cons:

Would describe this as more of a backpackers than a hotel or motel. For the price paid it was underwhelming. Handy place to stay but expensive for what it was. It’s an old style over pub accommodation so they are working with what they have :)
