Disappointing
Good location, was clean, check in/out was easy, car park was right at my door, there was an electric blanket on the bed.
Bathroom window faced out to where the carpark is and had no blind, its textured glass but I still didnt feel comfortable being in there with the lights on. The newer heater didnt work very well, turned on and off constantly (like every few seconds) so I used the old heater instead which did work well but was very old so I was scared of burning to death. The doors and windows were left completely open and ajar before I checked in, as a solo female traveller that made me nervous.

Right near he centre of town made this a good choice. As we got in after office hours we didn't meet any staff but everything ran smoothly. The room was comfy.

Fair
Large room. Convenient to supermarket and not far to walk to local restaurants. Parking was available. There is some view from the upstairs rooms. Surprisingly, despite my complaints, had a comfortable sleep.
Was given a ground floor room on check-in and as a solo female traveller like to check the security of internal doors to make sure they are locked and safe before settling in. The door literally fell away from the wall - wasn't connected at the hinges and was visibly damaged on the other side. I complained at reception and said I would like a room without an interconnecting door and I was assured it was safe. I wasn't happy and insisted on another room. I was moved to an upstairs room which had a better feel than the downstairs room but the furnishings are in poor condition and many things were broken. The bathroom mirror was cracked right down the middle and many of the light fittings were taped together. You can hear everything the guests on either side say and do. This could be a cute, quaint hotel if it was looked after and I imagine it was once a nice hotel but it is in really poor condition - especially for the price - and I would not stay here again.

Central location
The room has timber walls. Theres noise from timber cracking or stretching. Some odd smell when first walked into the room, opened the balcony door to freshen up a bit. Shower curtain has a bit of mouldy smell, but not a big deal. Hot water is quick and fast though.
