This place is a good stay for late night finds after travelling from the air port. All though the room isn’t a 5 star hotel, does the job for needing a place to sleep. You have to carry bags up the stairs and the bathroom layout is strange. Bed wasn’t the best but did the job. The staff a friendly which was the positive about this stay.

A there was no laundry even though a card about it was in the room! Very very small room about 1 foot at end of bed! Sink was outside bathroom and shower and toilet were all in one like a camper with a step up to enter it! It was ok clean and walking distance to airport. We ordered early cab that didn’t show!

Convenient location to airport, quick 5 min walk. Have stayed here many times. Ticks all the boxes when you have early flights. Clean, comfy, good aircon, no lift for those who may have issues lugging bags up stairs but the young man at reception offered to take my bags to my room.
