Pros:

Fine for an overnighter
Close to a bar and restaurant

Cons:

Be nice if the bed didn't move all over the room on its wheels (We saw where others tried to chock it too) A microwave would've been handy but mustn't moan too much for the price

Wont be staying here again.
Pros:

Accommodated a large group of us with good parking.

Cons:

After we switched rooms it was better. The place is tired and old. First room was cold, had gaps in the windows and doors. Shower was a trickle. Second room was warmer and shower was great. Definitely budget accommodation. Suggest a ton of money needs to be spent on it, or bulldozed and start again.
