"Excellent"

8.0

Superb location. Very friendly and hardworking staff. Clean, comfortable. Beds are good. The only issue is that the rooms and common area are in need of a wee refresh. That said…they are clean and comfortable, and it’s a good place to lay your head. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Staff was awesome.
