Enjoyed my stay at Jackson's hotel. Check in was quick and was even allowed to check in early. Staff everywhere in the hotel where very polite. I would recommend this hotel.
We had a lovely time we were close to many tourist attractions which allowed us to visit a few. The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. The food was well presented and very filling and tasty. The only downside was that the room had no fridge. A necessity to keep water bottles cold in the beautiful hot days that we had.
The staff were extremely helpful and readily resolved our problems

Hot Days
Enjoyed our stay except for the room on the 4th floor. It was like a sauna due to the high daily temperature and the proximity to the roof. Could do with some fans at night if the temperatures are mid 20's.
Otherwise eveything else was great.
One night stop only
A bit tricky to find as turn off from main road very tricky
Staff lovely and food filled a gap though was not up to standard....spaghetti with chunky vegetables....should have diced em then it would have gone down a treat.
Room I was in was spotlessly clean,
I forgot to bring a toothbrush, none in the room, I asked at reception, they gave me a disposable one with toothpaste that was quite adequate, diffenitly will be back.
