I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable, but I struggled with the cold bed sheets which disrupted my sleep. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially during breakfast. The location was convenient, close to town and several attractions, but I wish there were better amenities.

The hotel had a great location, very close to the town center and attractions. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made a difference in our stay. However, the rooms could really use an upgrade; our temporary camp bed wasn't ideal and collapsed during the night. Overall, while it had its flaws, the value for money was decent considering its location.

The hotel has an excellent location near the town center and golf club, making it easy to explore. However, the rooms felt quite outdated and one of the beds collapsed during our stay. The service was polite, but the staff seemed a bit careless at times. Breakfast was basic and didn't offer much variety, but it matched the price we paid.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the service was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the location was perfect, just a short walk to the town center and other attractions. However, I had some issues with the room setup, mainly the inadequate temporary bed for my son, which collapsed during the night. While the room was clean and comfortable, there were areas that needed more attention to detail.

The room itself was clean and comfortable, but the temporary camp bed provided for my son was woefully inadequate. It collapsed in the middle of the night, which was a bit frustrating. The hotel did replace it with a better bed the next day, but I wish they had done that from the start.

The hotel is centrally located with easy access to major attractions, making it a great base for exploring. The rooms were comfortable with plenty of hot water and tea & coffee facilities, although I did find them a bit dated and noisy. Most of the staff were friendly and accommodating, but the service at times felt a bit slow. Overall, it offers solid value for money, but some updates and improvements could really enhance the experience.
