Very reasonable budget hotel

Very reasonable budget hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small basic room but clean and tidy, decent bathroom with good size shower. Plenty of hot water. Overall, it suited me perfectly.

Overall it was ok but wouldn’t return

Site was not well signed so thought I had arrived to a private property not the location of the hotel. Bathroom was really nice and modern but the rest of the room was not the same style. Unfortunately the fire alarm was set off during the night and no guests knew what the procedure was so this could be reinforced on arrival of future customers

2.5/5 Stars Our stay here was a bit of a mixed bag. Upon arrival, we joked that we'd somehow entered the Twilight Zone – the vibe was more "motel" than "hotel." The staff were friendly enough, which was a definite plus. Our room was clean, for the most part, but we did notice that the spare pillows had some noticeable stains. Not a deal-breaker, but a bit disappointing. The real issue, though, was the overall atmosphere of the place. It felt deserted, like we were the only guests. The decor was straight out of a classic Western film – think tumbleweeds rolling down the sidewalk at any moment. While it had a certain quirky charm, it didn't exactly scream "luxury" or "modern amenities." If you're looking for a no-frills place to rest your head, this might be okay. However, if you're after a more hotel-like experience, you might want to look elsewhere. Perhaps a bit of renovation and some added amenities could elevate this place from motel vibes to something more impressive. For now, it's an average stop poor stay

The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately the lead for the kettle could only b plugged in if you took the plug out of the tv. But I believe they r addressing this. Also I couldn’t get terrestrial tv, but that was possibly me. I had to go through apps. The bed was really comfy and the room was what ever temperature you wanted it to be. I would stay again. Although it might b good if they get slow closing doors, as you do hear your neighbors

I arrived at the hotel. There are two black gates as you enter, extermley tall grass and it looked very baron. I work away alot with work so am used to travelling on my own. My car was the only car in the car park. It didn't feel that safe. I entered the hotel and noticed curtains that did not cover the window entirely and some of the curtains looked like they had fallen off the rail. The main hotel sign was not burgundy, as it shows in all the pictures, it was discoloured all over. On entering the reception it was really dark and nothing like the photos on Expedia. There was a gentleman sitting behind a desk and I advised him that I didn't feel safe at the hotel. The gentleman assured me I was although so far it didn't look at all like any photo's on the Expedia website and it was making me feel anxious ( not normally an anxious person). The gentleman said did I want to check in and see my room. At this point, I want to run as far as I could. He showed me about 5-7 cars in another car park, this still didn't inspire me to stay. I would not recommend this hotel nor would I stay here again. I left and found a lovely hotel where I did feel safe and the staff were friendly.

The rooms and facilities were in poor condition. It’s a good option as a transit hotel but not ideal for leisure stays. However, the staff provided excellent customer care, compensating for the shortcomings.
