The room smelt like stale cigarette smell. Needs airing. I couldn't get the air conditioner to heat, blew cold air. I set it right, but no heat.

The room was quiet even though it was on a busy road and with other people staying around us. The room was clean and staff fantastic. It will be our “to go” when visiting family.

In a convenient quiet area, however the bathrooms desperately need updating - we are in out 70s and having to step up into a half bath to shower is risky! Also would prefer a queen size bed rather than a double.

The unit needed some maintenance E.G, the internal doors not easy to operate, & the aircon could do with either servicing or replacing. Otherwise good for a basic unit.
