The best word I can find for this property is 'shabby'. Very tired looking and not overly comfortable. But I did expect a hot shower, and I only got that one day out of three.

The booking went through on Expedia for a same day, last minute booking. No information was available on the initial Expedia listing to illustrate what time reception closed. The booking was made after reception had closed. I called a number and told a man that I would be arriving late. He was reasonably helpful. He provided a pin code for the room. Upon arrival in the dark, it was hard to ascertain how to get into the compound so I had to send another text to the Man. He then disclosed that I had to just push the security gate open. Throughout the evening I had a terrible nights sleep. There was no safety chain on the door. There were people setting off fireworks everywhere (this was not on Territory Day) and causing all of the birds in the local area to become disrupted in the middle of the night, thus making lots of loud noises as they flew away. I felt like I was in the middle of a war zone. The bedsheets were clean and the room was clean. There is a sign in the bathroom which says that the water will take over 10 minutes to heat up. I experienced this. Seems like a waste of water, perhaps the plumbing could be fixed? My car was safe and wasn’t broken into which I had been warned could possibly happen. Overall, it’s a terrible location due to the locals making noise. I didn’t feel safe here as a female traveller on her own. Despite the room being clean (basic expectation), I would definitely try & look for somewhere else to stay. Preferably out of town a bit.

All good

Needs a grab rail with shower over the bath in some rooms, towels had lovely clean smell

Room was freshly renovated and staff were very nice

Mm

Nice stay

Giant bed and huge TV were novelties for me. But I had trouble at first working out the shower tap, then having to step over the bath to use it (older person).

The owner was nice and friendly. The room was nice and cozy!

While this is close to town it felt v safe and was quiet in the ‘back rooms’. It was roomy, had v good wifi, coffee, service from very pleasant staff. Clearly this place has gone to big effort to upgrade itself and its appearance. All kitchen appliances as needed were there and in good condition. We are staying there again in 2 weeks.
