6/10 (107 reviews)
"Fantastic location with great staff. When you upgrade to one of the “freshly renovated” rooms, they really mean “freshly renovated bathroom”. None of the rooms are actually fully renovated yet (so I was told). Will be great once finished. At the moment it’s good value for money for the location."
