Nice and friendly staff.
The hotel accommodation is very old, run down with poor facilities, the only thing clean were the sheets on the bed.
The bathrooms were repulsive with dirt and looked like they had not seen bleach in months.

Avoid this place like the plague! Bathroom revolting, room so bad we considered sleeping in the car instead - not at all worth the money we were charged per night. Pictures on the internet are nothing like what the room was in reality

8/10 Very good

A Friendly pub
Friendly staff really looked after us & went out of their way to accomodate parking for our food trailer & Kombi. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Rooms were very basic but clean. No to in rooms. Bistro food was good & reasonably priced. The room we had was next to an outside cool room motor, so a little noisy, however the publican advised us that they would happily place us in a different room on our next stay, as I'm a very light sleeper. We will certainly stay here again due to the friendly helpful staff.

Such mixed feelings
I stayed for one night over Easter weekend. I had somewhere to be very early the next morning, so I wanted someplace reasonably priced and well located. This hotel fit both of those criteria. However, part of me wishes I had paid more.
I arrived at the hotel and entered the bar to check in. It took awhile to check in but the hotel employee apologized which I appreciated. He showed me to my room. The hotel is a historic building that could use some TLC... it was shabby but with potential. He was flexible and helpful when I asked him about my options for checking out so early, which I also appreciated. When he opened my door, I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel went from shabby to modern. I was pleased. Unfortunately, the floor was mostly bare - it was a cement ground (like there had been carpet that was ripped up but never replaced) with a small rug.
While getting organized, I found a used condom in the bedside table drawers. That was the moment where it all turned. I didn't feel very confident in the cleanliness anymore.
The shower itself was nice. There is a communal basic kitchen area (sink, toaster, fridge, microwave, flatware). I asked if they had a hairdryer and was basically laughed at. The bed itself was comfortable.
I'm very torn about this place - I've stayed at hostels that were more affordable, cleaner, and nicer.
It is a well located budget option. Just don't expect much - including cleanliness. And don't forget to bring shower shoes!
