A nice, cozy place to rest your head
Pros:

Really enjoyed my stay. I was checked in at the bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a small room with a single bed. The room and bathroom were clean. The bed was very soft and comfortable. Overall very relaxing and cozy. Perfect for a solo traveller like myself. Would recommend.

Cons:

No complaints.

Exceptional stay with fantastic location!
Pros:

The beds were surprisingly more comfortable than the king bed in a sky view hotel my husband & I stayed in for our honeymoon. The shower felt like a waterfall with how the droplets fell which was really nice. The room also had a big mini fridge that was really cold compared to any other hotel we have ever stayed at, we were really impressed. They also provided two icy cold bottles of water with little milk cartons in there for coffee in the morning. Nice little touches that you don’t get everywhere. - exceptional stay! Fantastic location too! Loved the pizza down the road at Allstars Pizza!

Generally much better than external appearance would suggest.
Pros:

Central location and spacious rooms.

Cons:

The fire alarm needed a new battery and blinked above my bed all night:in the morning it was hard to find anyone to report this to. The previous evening however reception had been most helpful.
