Location was good with its off road parking. breakfast was freshly prepared. I found it good. that staff are friendly and helpful too.
rooms feels dated. carpets looks old. it could do with some money spent on it, i think. the paint was peeling off the windows in the bathroom and the bathroom needed an update.

The furniture was dated. The bathroom also looked dated. The shower head bracket did not grip well, so it kept sliding down the rail.
