Felt like we were staying in a motel with the old interior and the noise at 11.30pm, if you’re looking for something lik
Pros:

The hospitable staff

Cons:

The interior is very old, bathrooms aren’t modern.. We could hear noise at the bar when we were trying to sleep.. no room phone, we didn’t like that there was no gate when entering the property it made us feel unsafe

The one night stay
Pros:

The room was neath, bedding was clean and the tv worked properly. The water was nice and warm. All four of us could was in warm water after a long day on site.

Cons:

It was not a newly renovated room which you can easily be noticed in the bathroom. But it was a nice and quite stay.

Pros:

I liked the view from the room. The place was also quite empty and we almost had the entire facility to ourselves.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact that our bed was made and we didn't get clean linen after the first night.
