Positive Reviews
positive:
Friendly and helpful staff
Many reviews make a point of mentioning how great the staff
and owners are. You really can expect to receive a warm welcome and be made to
feel at home. Nothing seems like too much trouble, with one guest telling of
how the owners were prepared to offer them bikes to ride for free!
positive:
Comfortable and spacious rooms
Rooms are spacious, clean and tidy with comfortable beds for a good night's sleep. In particular, guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchenette as this reduces the hassle of having to ask to borrow kitchen equipment from the hotel staff.
positive:
Conveniently located
You will be only a short drive into town, and because the
hotel is also on a regular bus route, you will find that it is quick and easy
to get around if you don't have a car. Restaurants and bars can be found a
short walk away on Hastings Street, too, if you fancy eating out instead of
using the self-catering facilities.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Traffic noise
Because the hotel is located on a main road, you may find in
busy periods that you can hear traffic noise. This disturbed some guests when who
felt less inclined to use their balconies. However rooms are well glazed and quiet
when doors and windows are closed, and it is said to be generally peaceful on
an evening.
negative:
Limited Wi-Fi
Some guests have said that there are restrictions placed on
Wi-Fi, meaning that you don't get unlimited free usage. With this in mind, if
you intend to use the internet you may find the Wi-Fi options a bit
restrictive.
negative:
General wear and tear
While not a massive issue, it should be said that some guests
think that this hotel could do with some modernizing as some general wear and
tear has been noted.
