Good value for money
Pros:

Was a basic unit but had everything we needed, good value for money & close to everything. If you aren’t looking for all the frills would definitely recommend, nice comfy bed & a lovely court yard so I could have a cigarette.

Cons:

The after hours book in wasn’t working but the lovely staff quickly got us sorted.

Was very disappointed in the Accomodation
Pros:

* The Room was not up to $209.00 per night stay:
* Kettle had dregs of last use.
* Toilet was unstable
* Tap to sink was about to fall out of fitting ( flood probability)
* Hot handle was off the fitting in the shower.
* Grout in shower was not up to standard.
* No charge points… one available 240v plug in.
Generally not a well kept tidy room… very disappointing as the Pub facilities and food was not “too” bad.
