Facilities were a bit dated but it was clean and comfortable. Convenient for catching public transport into the city - a few minutes walk to the bus stop. Staff friendly and professional.

The carpet was new and the bed was comfortable, everything else was old. Old is ok, but so many things were broken or uncared for. The light above the bed had fallen apart - theres no way they could miss that. I fixed it myself. The painting on the wall was hanging at 45 degrees. I straightened it up. Bathroom door wouldnt latch. Towel rail hanging loose. I dont understand how they can rent out rooms woth glaring faults like this. Its like nobody has set foot in there for a long time. Then theres the cleanliness - mostly things were clean, except for some thick dust around the TV, in the corners of the rooms, around the toilet paper dispenser, and the glasses had lipstick marks on them. Lots of spiderwebs around. Easy things not to miss. I just cant believe they had prepared this room for our stay - I dont think anyone had set foot in there for months. Then theres the staff - very friendly, but 5 minutes before 10am she walks into the room - no greetings or anything - and asks if we are leaving. We said of course, and she starts rambling about how she forgot to take a deposit. She takes the TV remotes from beside me on the couch and put them by the TV and said she had someone steal them before. Then she demanded we give her the key to the unit and left. It was very abrupt and confusing honestly.
