A bit noisy in the evenings, because boy racers go around in the middle of the town and we could hear all, other then that very good for the price.

Lesley, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

To check in we had to make our way through 50 drunk 18 year olds to the bar. Then drag our suitcases up the stairs to reach a small room. When I originally booked through Expedia the property's name was Joyce's Bed and Breakfast, but they serve no food whatsoever. The noisy guests downstairs could be heard from our room and I was afraid of leaving our rental car on the street with all of the drunk people wandering around.
