It was as you'd expect from a budget hotel. No frills, very basic but clean rooms. Friendly customer service and an exceptional young man making the coffee at breakfast on Saturday. He made the morning experience!

Conveniently located, a block away from a grocery store and close to other shopping areas. My room had a connecting door so I was hearing everything from the neighbouring room. Shower was…interesting. Less than a metre wide so you’re back is to a half glass divider. It is more of a wet bath room, so I would avoid putting down the floor mat until after you shower. Amenities are not provided, it’s a 3in1 soap, but a free bottle of water at checking and a bunch of gummy candies at reception as well!
