Fine older hotel
Pros:

Overall no issues. Older hotel and it shows sometimes. 2 restaurants on site. 1 offers dinner the second offers breakfast.

Cons:

No elevator, people with mobility issues would not be able to access their rooms. You will have to carry your luggage upstairs to your room. No AC. During the summer, this may be an issue.

Inrefuse to stay no even for one night.
Pros:

The property doesn’t have AIR CONDITIONER! It took me 1/2 to talk to the manager that said “I am only taking to you so you understand that I don’t have to say that we don’t have air conditioner in the announcement” I was melting and I am from the Caribbean. No one in the line behind me knew ether. We lost the knight and leave. This is the first tine that through booking something like this happened to me.

Cons:

The property was old but nice. The situation that was no air conditioner in a very HOT SUMMER was a deal breaker. Impossible to sleep there or rest

Excellent
Pros:

Room and breakfast great as always. Excellent location just outside main city.

Cons:

The only problem we encountered, and we have stayed here many times, was the bed in our room. It was very low and not all that comfortable. We have always previously found the beds here very comfortable and have slept really well. Not so much this time. A bit style over substance.

Lovely hotel, great location & free parking
Pros:

We like the location due to its proximity to the relative we came to visit. We also like that parking is available. The rooms are a good size and that staff really friendly. We also liked the little bar. We didn’t have breakfast on this occasion but have had it on a previous stay and the food was really good

Cons:

The bathroom could do with a refresh and the shower wasn’t very powerful. It would also have been helpful to have a fridge in the room.
