Simple but covered all bases
Probably one of the better value for money places in town. The location is amazing with it being just a 100 meters from downtown. Ample parking onsite and large rooms. It's not flash but who needs that when what you are looking for is an amazing view and a comfy bed. Again....it's not flash but it is clean, friendly reception and it has killer viewsmn

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This property is close to town which was very handy and the view was great. However, the kitchen area looked like a 1960s kitchen i.e very dated. Bathroom had a weird sour smell that didnt go away and was quite off-putting. Didnt feel very secure with the door locks either. Lighting at the back door at night was very poor. Smoke alarm was missing and was reported to reception who did not replace it. Surely illegal not to have smoke alarm in room.

Stayed in October 2023. Very basic accommodation, had microwave, kettle, cooktop, but microwave was precariously placed in kitchenette. Our particular room was very close to the street and the footpath, the lock on the door was about the quality you’d except on a bathroom door in a house, really needs a deadlock or something. Very noisy. Blankets were not clean, overall cheap feel nothing in great condition.
