The property was as listed and we only stayed in it for one night which suited our needs. Parking was very easy and very secure. Price point was very reasonable for where it was located.

Property was run down. Gate to enter was missing so anyone could come into the property. There was trash scattered in the parking area. We had a very noisy room, could hear people going past at all hours as well as people using the washing machine nearby at 3am. Was a room for 6 but no amenities to match - 2 cups, 2 chairs, etc. There was mould in the bathroom.
