Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Firstly, I read on Expedia that there is a restaurant serving international cuisine. This appealed to me as I am business traveller and need convenience. They stop serving at 5pm. This should be specified The photos are clever and i thought I was going to a hotel. However it is more like an American style motel. Worse still, they have office style vertical blinds which incredibly have small gaps in so that people can look into your room. I found this unnerving. The lady offered to change my room but I failed to see what would change as all the rooms have the same blinds. The mattress is rock hard and I barely slept but that is a subjective opinion and some may like that. On a positive note the rooms were spotless. I was really looking forward to my stay but I felt very let down and somewhat hoodwinked by the description on Expedia.

Lovely clean comfy room. Had a bit of trouble with the heating not staying on, but this may be because we are not familiar with using this style of heating. Staff very helpful especially in advising that just down the road were Laundromat style facilities.

This little hotel was a great choice. Reasonably priced, great location, quiet and clean. Rooms are small but comfortable and have all you need. Reception staff efficient and helpful. Breakfast had a great choice of tasty food and good service.
