"Well, what can you say, you pay for what you get, it's a good hotel, the staff are lovely, unfortun1tely, the room is not what on the advertised photos, we have been here for four days and never had our room done, towels replaced etc, the room door doesn't have a chain or extra security on it, also they are a little run down, if you on a budget it's a good place to stay, bed is very comfortable, I would probably stay here again."

"Fantastic location, great amenities and very helpful staff. The rooms were serviced daily and items were replenished according to your preferences. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food and drink and was good value for money. The hotel room was very clean. Only downside was that some elements of the hotel look a bit tired (eg the outside walls, some of the paintwork and soft furnishings) and could do with a refresh. Overall would recommend and would stay again."

I needed to take some photos and measurements as I had another unit of a client that was needing a full restoration and would have even offered to buy the unit in the hotel however some staff remembered seeing it in the main hall but no one was able to remember where it had gone or why. The securing marks were still on the wall where the Melodeon was placed but now it is gone somewhere???????? Very disappointed......."
