Enjoyed our stay. Unit is a good size and fitted our requirements for our stay. The main bed was a little firm and the decor a little dated. But unit clean and tidy and service was great.

This place takes you back in time! We thought it was really cool! Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The spa pool was amazing. The down sides were the balcony upstairs didn’t have curtains which meant it too bright to stay asleep. Also, they are having work done which meant it was very noisy!

It suited my needs for the night. It is perhaps getting to the time it might consider an overall upgrade/modernisation, but is still well maintained in its current form.

As an older person, with arthritic knees, found stepping into the high sided shrub a bit of a challenge. Otherwise found the unit very acceptable.

酒店导航就能直接到达，很容易找。但是被安排在了二楼，酒店没有电梯，是楼梯，搬行李会比较累 老板会在入住之后带你去你入住的房间，我们觉得靠街边会比较吵，想换一间，老板说你把门关上看看，关上之后真的好挺多，是够安静的 床有提供电热毯，当我掀开被子发现床单上有头发，一根就算了，被子上陆续被发现好几条，顿时人就不好了，被子也不太干爽。床单下面铺了电热毯，但是只有一半是暖的。多亏了这个电热毯，我一晚上都没有盖被子，总觉得身上痒痒的。 厨房挺好的，有电炉 厕所干湿分离，洗澡水是够大够热的 酒店位置挺中心的，开车到大学、教堂只要10分钟 The hotel navigation provides direct access and is easy to find. But it was arranged on the second floor. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, it's a staircase, so carrying luggage can be tiring The boss will take you to the room you are staying in after checking in. We think it will be noisy on the street and we want to change to another room. The boss said you should close the door and take a look. After closing it, it's really nice and quiet enough The bed provided an electric blanket, and when I lifted the blanket and found hair on the sheets, I let it go. Several pieces were found on the blanket one after another, and the person suddenly felt unwell. The blanket was not very dry either. There is an electric blanket under the sheets, but only half of it is warm. Thanks to this electric blanket, I didn't cover myself all night and always felt itchy on my body. The kitchen is pretty good, with an electric stove The toilet separates dry and wet, and the shower water is large and hot enough The hotel is quite central, it only takes 10 minutes by car to the university and church

Our family room was ideal with two single beds on the mezzanine level giving space and privacy. The property was in process of renovating and upgrading rooms one by one but ours was more than adequate and the kitchen facility and breakfast bar meant we didn’t have to balance plates on our laps!. The location was ideal with our granddaughter just a 5 minute walk away, and we explored the city on foot. Driving further afield was easy too. The staff were very welcoming and everything was very clean.
