Value, cleanliness and a great location.

A group of friends stayed and it was perfect. Comfy beds that felt new and fresh. All facilities felt clean and well cared for/updated. Staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Would stay again as only $52 for each person and super close to the city, a great location.

Over all a clean and tidy place. Bed was way too soft and woke up with a sore back. Cutlery was a mismatch from a charity shop. Rung for a create for the room and was quoted $25 more than the web site i booked through. Central to eateries and the plaza. With supermarkets very close.
