Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was comfortable, spacious, and clean, just a few easy minutes walk to the town centre. The cleanliness and neatness made our short visit very comfortable. However, the room was rather small and very hot, needing a ceiling fan or something as the night was uncomfortable.
The hotel is ideally situated close to the river with a fantastic walking track and a short stroll into town. The rooms come with convenient amenities like a microwave and coffee/tea making facilities, but unfortunately, our room was not serviced after the first night. The location is excellent overall but would benefit from additional shade options.
My stay at the hotel was really pleasant. The rooms were not serviced after our first night, but they were so clean and neat, making our short visit incredibly comfortable. The twin room we stayed in was good. The service was fantastic; from dry cleaning to housekeeping, and even the welcome drink made us feel truly welcomed. The location was excellent for us to attend a funeral in the town, with a short walk to town facilities and sporting facilities. The hotel is in a quiet location with all new quality furnishings. The dining experience, despite some disappointments, was very nice with plenty of choices. Overall, a good value for money.
