Very clean and tidy, comfortable bed, easy parking, and a convenient location. The staff were extremely friendly and everything we needed was provided. The shower area was a bit small, but we would definitely stay here again when visiting Timaru.

The bed was really uncomfortable, the room was nice and warm which was good - the bathroom was clean but you can tell it does need some work as the walls are peeling and looks quite untidy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
More what I didn't like. The bed was so hard I couldn't sleep, then there was heaps of noise and banging which was quiet scary at midnight. Don't like no duvet cover, just a duvet inner, not impressed with that. I was in what was classed as a deluxe unit, it wasn't. Definitely only 3 star. Could have done with four pillows on the bed and certainly didn't seem like a king size bed. Easy check in, friendly staff.
