Some of the rooms are renovated but we were in an older one that had pretty gross carpet. There is no A/C which most of the year would be fine but we were there during warm weather. There was a small fan to use in the room. We liked the filtered water in the hallway. Breakfast onsite was good but not any cheaper or better than a local cafe. Location was good, the pub next door was loud one night but not too bad. Staff was super nice.

Great location. We ate at Darky Kelly’s right next door and it was incredible. It can get a little noisy being by a bar but with the windows closed, it’s not bad at all

I first arrived to this location and was not feeling well. I had been sick on the plane was feeling horrible. I arrived 3 hours early, but as the clerk could see on my face he saw to it that my room was made ready as soon as possible. I appreciate that so much I was able to settle into my room take a hot shower which helped so much. This location is centrally located from all the attractions. Everything I wanted to see and do was within walking distance anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. The room was very clean and nice. Thank you for a wonderful stay I will be back.

6/10 Good

The staff were really nice. They were helpful and kind. The room was pretty dirty. The carpet was coming up in places and it wasn’t clean. The bathtub didn’t drain properly so every time we took a shower, it filled up and then slowly drained. The location was good. It was easy to walk to different places. My sister and her husband stayed there as well and their room was updated. It was cleaner. The coffee pot was cheap and only did a tiny bit of coffee at a time. My sister and her husband and my husband, and I felt that it should’ve been nicer for the amount of money we spent.
