You Get What You Pay For
While guests generally appreciated the affordable cost of this establishment, some found the upkeep sufficiently poor that they would not return or recommend it. Complaints included torn curtains, uncomfortable beds with sagging mattresses, shabby and dated furniture and an overall air of neglect.

A Little Night Music
Noise from the live entertainment in the pub downstairs kept many guests in the rooms above from enjoying a good night's sleep.

Questionable Complaints?
Several guests described encounters with a staff member at the reception desk who was variously described as grumpy, unfriendly and rude. The quality of food and service in the pub also failed to meet the expectations of a few guests who then wrote unfavourable reviews. Management responded to a number of complaints and, in several instances, questioned the accuracy and authenticity of the guest's experience.
