The unit was very spacious, and although a studio unit, had a divider which separated the bed from the sitting area. Very clean and tidy.

Quiet in spite of being on SH1. Modern and spacious. No one present in office to check in but phone contact available. Very hot weather but aircon worked well to give good nights sleep.
Adjacent to liquor store and sports bar but there was no noise or hassle from clientele .
Recommended.
