The room was adequate for my Wife & I. It was small, but if you didn't want to swing a cat around, it was very good. The room was recently built or recently renovated. The shower was excellent. There was room for two, if you are inclined. The bed gave us a great night's sleep. The Staff were brilliant. Very helpful & obliging. I would stay there again.

I told staff was working night shift so ask for later checkout which they kindly excepted with no extra charges, but then in the morning at 830 the tradesmen started a jackhammer in the room next to me as they were programmed to do renovations the room adjoining. So I had 2.5hrs sleep Not very smart at all when I told them I was working nights !!!!

Staff were great, helpful and personable. Fresh milk instead of the little UHT milk cannisters was a nice touch. Dinner selection is decent, the food is delicious and generous serving at a reasonable price. Price of the room is very reasonable and are able to accommodate up to 5 adults to a room.
