The girl at reception couldn’t understand us so it was a bit of a challenge to check in. The room was up a wobbly metal staircase which was difficult whilst carrying cases ect. The room itself was just ok. The door frame on the inside of the room was hanging off exposing nails, the wooden floor looked clean but was not which the socks I put in the bin can attest to. Would I stay again? No

There was needed some minor repairs meeded in the bathroom. Tub drain wouldn't close and cover around shower head. Also since we needed areas to potty dogs, the area around hotel needed mowing. Otherwise nice stay. Pleasant clerks.
