Overnight stay

Quick overnight visit. Very helpful staff. Stairs to room were steep but nice gentleman helped with luggage. They have two washers and driers, which was a plus in my book. Easy walk to stores for supplies, Four Square has great chicken and fries. Fish and chips next door and a liquor store just round the corner. Couldn’t ask for more and price was cheap. Maybe needs some up dating but it served its purpose and I’d definitely use them again.

Cannot understand good reviews, property is in need of serious maintenance both inside and out. Noise late at night and early morning as we were next to office, room lacked shelving in wardrobe, no mirror in bedroom, and had to ask for soap as none in bathroom. Fans dirty and rusty, cobwebs on walls and just absolute shock when you open the door, do not stay here... I have photos of all of the above.
