Rooms were clean and in good condition. Hotel is older but in a good location and staff were friendly. Beds are smaller due to room sizes being smaller. Overall a good stay.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was old and draughty. Heat either set to roasting hot or freezing cold. We did not appreciate the $500 per room deposit. We had two rooms. There was no forewarning of this. Laundry-in other hotel- was small and inadequate. Would not return.

Basic hotel albeit a bit dated but clean. Quiet during the night. Couldn't control the heating and weren't allowed to open the screen door during winter so the room did get warm.

It was a basic place - nothing really stood out. The pool was located in another hotel, which was fine but cold to get to in the winter. The rooms could use some upkeep.
