There was no wifi available when we were there. Only one glass and one pkt biscuits for two people. No towel rail in bathroom (it was broken). Only had free to air chanels on tv. Cigarette smell was quite strong in passage. On the plus side the bed was quite comfortable, although only one pillow per person. The shower was adequate with plenty of hot water. Overall not our best experience.

The positive is that the property is close to lots of shopping and dining options on High Street and at Northland. Good parking on site. However, we did not have a comfortable night sleep due to traffic noise on busy Bell Street. Suggest booking a room on ground floor on opposite side of Bell Street. In addition, the double bed mattress/base was so bad that it made both of us rolled towards the middle all night.

I was a bit scared with fighting going on all night in the room next to me. No one to report it too. Outdated and old. Dirty old carpet and not enough exits. Windows throughout dirty. Shower mould. It has a lot of potential. Staff were nice and kind.

No Service and No Care
Booked in for 3 nights. Arrived early evening, so no reception. Settled into the room to find no tea bags. Next morning I spoke to the reception person and asked for tea bags to be put into the room. I arrived back for the 2nd night to find no tea bags and nothing done to service the room. The next morning I hung the 'please service' sign on the door. On arriving back for the 3rd night, no tea bags and no service of the room. On leaving the next morning I called into reception to complain and the receptionist said "oh we forgot to service your room". No apology and a 'no care' attitude. I will never stay there again.
