What guests think

Rooms are often spacious and comfortable, though several reviews describe dated furnishings, a few noisy street-facing units, and occasional comfort issues like soft or less comfortable beds. A small number report maintenance concerns such as mould or an unpleasant smell, while others mention newer bathrooms. Parking is easy according to multiple guests, but little is said about other on-site amenities. Overall, it suits short stays and value-focused trips.

Great positioning and parking, handy to town centre at a reasonable price. The only down fall was the room had mould around the bathroom window and the shower tile grout was showing signs of it too.

Over all a clean and tidy place. Bed was way too soft and woke up with a sore back. Cutlery was a mismatch from a charity shop. Rung for a create for the room and was quoted $25 more than the web site i booked through. Central to eateries and the plaza. With supermarkets very close.

Our room was clean and functional, but we would have expected more for the price we were charged. In addition, the property did not offer breakfast, which also detracted from its value.
