I have read a few of the 'average' reviews and can only agree with them. The lady who checked us in and who I think runs the place, reminds me of my sweet old departed gran so I can't be too harsh, but the hotel is really so tired and needs an interior design makeover. More

Im not quite sure what to say....this hotel is a bit 'hit and miss'....looks great from the front...not so great from the back with the bizarre extension but it should be so much better...It feels like its been run on a very tight budget.
