Convenient and Clean

For a business stay my room was great. It had plenty of space for me to work during the day at the table, and have a colleague in the room to have a meeting. And it was spotless, had a very clean feel to it and the room was very bright. Definitely stay here again.

It’s quite noisy being on state highway 1 and the railway is directly behind it. It suited our needs and was clean and tidy. Couldn’t find a decent restaurant for an evening meal. Levin is very basic.
