Served the purpose in providing overnight accommodation while visiting friends.
Pros:

Good sized room, comfortable bed and shower OK. Air conditioning effective for heating up the room

Cons:

On arrival not much of a greeting, just handed over the key. Room was absolutely freezing, had to put air con on to warm it up and then again first thing in the morning. The whole place looked a bit run down and could not quite make out what sort of hotel it was trying to be. It really needed some TLC.

Pros:

I like the location, it is near a main road, however, couldn't hear the road and it is very peaceful during the night.. The Staff were kind, the Beds were comfortable.

Cons:

Look - The place has A LOT of potential, the property does need a really good clean up, repairs a lot of work, however, understandable it is old and will cost a lot of money, but it does need to be done sooner rather than later. I work in this profession and it looks to me (my assumptions) by how the rooms are cleaned/managed the staff might lack in hospitality training.

But it is a basic stay, good value, just has a lot of work needed done.
