"Great location right in the centre of everything. Nice room and friendly staff. Underground car park. Was good but with a low car grounded out so be careful. Would have given it 5 stars if it had a lift. A minor thing for us but might be an issue for some people. Def stay again if in the area"

"Large and comfortable room, very clean, with good amenities. Right in the middle of the main street. In has underground parking, a small swimming pool, a good restaurant, and a beautiful central area to seat outdoors. Very nice place for a comfortable stay. However, it’s still a road motel, so I think that it’s very overpriced."
