Basic but value for money
The rooms are very basic and need a refurbishment however they are clean and beds are comfy. I think I may have been the only guest staying there! I like the fact you can have dinner on site at the Irish bar. Location excellent close to the shops. Even tho it is the most basic place I stay at I like it and have stayed 3 times now It’s value for money.
