The owners are lovely people but the place is pretty run down. It was a ok place for a night to go to a concert and an ok place to rest your head.

Had everything we needed for one night flight before early morning trip to the airport. Unable to contact by phone for shuttle service from railway but plenty of taxis so not a big problem. Very cheerful staff member at early checkout next day.

Great one-night stay!

Be sure to call in advance if you're arriving at the train station and Andrew will pick you up! I appreciated the upgraded room when I was late to arrive. Andrew has a fascinating back story that I was happy to hear about!

Not the best but not the worst. The laundry room was purely trashed. Our "suite" had an ant issue. For one night, it was okay. The van to the train station was surprising and awesome.
