The bathroom door would not stay close, so no privacy. Bathroom mirror very poor. There was no security lock on the outside door. We expected a kitchen but only 1 hotplate & small fridge. We booked for 2 nights, left after 1 night. On the plus side the towels & sheets were all clean & new.

The unit we were given was around a dark corner and felt isolated. The windows did not have locks. One was missing a screen. It did not feel safe. If i had arrived alone i would have been too scared to stay. All was fine and there were no intruders, but the room was not secure and women traveling alone should be aware that they too may be concerned.

Bit rough, lovely staff
Staff were very nice and helpful and allowed me to check in early. Things to work on: - no extra lock, chain, or latch on the door, only the handle locked - kept tripping on mat at entry as it was curled up - room smelled strongly of fresh paint (but looked good and freshly painted!!) so I had to keep the windows open - shower handle kept falling off Loved having a microwave and fridge in the room and they both worked great, also TV was nice and big, bed comfortable. Also lots of parking, easy to find and there is a lovely river loop walk right across the road.

This place is not walking distance to anything. The hotel is a relic out of the 70’s and needs a major overhaul. Clean, but basic.

We got off the ferry at midnight, lobby was still open for us. I had a problem with the heating in my room, the manager came at 1:00 a.m. and fixed it! That's a good service!
