A very comfortable size room for a family. Great bathroom. Great pressure in shower. Laundry was a bonus. Bed super comfortable and clean. Soooo much room. With a bit of paint and a small reno, it would be 10/10. But I will definitely be staying here again and would recommend.

Curtains were awful, barely covered the window & full of holes & threadbare. Doona was dirty, didn’t look like it had been washed in a while. Shower based stained & grout looked grotty. Chairs were dirty & stained. Room looked nothing like the photo.
