2/10 Poor

Dated and poor value for money
This place does not deserve the high rating - or the high price ($276/night). It’s very dated and feels dodgy. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off as soon as we hung our towel on it as it was only taped to the wall. The only upside was the service - the lady in the reception was excellent as she arranged for us to check in after hours. Overall wouldn’t recommend 1/10.

4/10 Fair

Upon check in I was repeatedly told I "should have booked with the hotel directly because it would be cheaper"... it wasn't. It was said 4 times and made me uncomfortable. I just wanted to check in after travelling with my family and didn't need to be told that booking through an online service cost the hotel money and a commission. The room itself was spacious and had all the needed facilities. The floor however felt gritty and in need of a more thorough mop. Everything else was very clean. Hotel is located on the Main Street within walking distance of lots of facilities. I would probably stay there again for the convenience but would like the above issues rectified.

6/10 Good

Tiny rooms, we arrived late with child, had to make up the bed for child once we arrived. Bed was weird and uncomfortable felt like we were sleeping up hill. Have stayed here once before and property gone downhill. Very expensive
