Quirky, pub and gaming hotel. comfortable and welcoming
Pros:

Our room was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. we were aware no breakfast would be provided and bought all we required from the local IGA. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant was good pub fare.

Cons:

We specifically booked the hotel because a swimming pool was advertised. There was a pool which we used after asking staff where it was as it wasn't easy to find with no signage or written information. The pool is in need of renovation and there are no changing rooms, shower or toilet. It is outside the main hotel complex and we had to change in our room and walk in the cold both there and back. The pool building is cold. So disappointing.

Would not recommend. The whole vibe is awful and you’ll be treated like an alien from out of space for even looking in t
Pros:

Microwave in the room was great. After a hard days work I definitely enjoyed my microwave lasagna for dinner instead of dining in the restaurant.

Cons:

Staff were rude, especially the bar & gaming staff. Bed was rock hard and not comfortable at all. Broken door lock in the room was very unsafe.
