Friendly, obliging and welcoming were just some of the terms reviewers used to describe employees at this property. Those travelling with their furry friends welcomed the pet-friendly policy.

The renovated rooms with flat-screen TVs, modern furniture and wood-effect flooring proved popular with visitors. Many said their rooms were more than suitably clean and comfy for a stopover. Drivers liked the way they could often park right outside their rooms. Those looking to keep costs down often felt they got reasonable value for money thanks to the usually inexpensive room rates.

Even though many guests appreciated the provision of free Wi-Fi, critics sometimes took issue with the service for offering slow speeds and spotty coverage.

Maintenance issues like cigarette burns, non-functioning lighting, blurred TV channels and an intermittent hot water supply were reported by guests in certain rooms. There were also cleanliness grumbles over inconsistent housekeeping standards, stained bedding and bedroom floors and bathrooms that could have been more vigorously cleaned. Some critics said they struggled to adjust the room temperature to their liking.

Light sleepers were sometimes disturbed by nuisance noise from neighbouring rooms. Lingering smoky smells and cleaning product odours also bothered guests in certain rooms.
