Room was spotless, also very comfy bed. Basic but had everything I needed for my stay. TV Had all channels including Netflix so that was a bonus. Kitchen could do with a cloth to wipe bench down and als. Sharp knife for cutting food. Thanks

Great Wifi, great TV, great location. Beds with metal springs- update your beds and your guests will love you.
Staff were super helpful when we stayed there for 4 nights. Our first night in our room the tv remote was not found then next morning staff offered us to move to another room which was helpful comfortable bed, tv with remote, clean room overall.
The beds were clean and comfortable. The shower was hot. Carpet clean and looked new
A few things missing, but perfectly adequate for a short stay and the price was right.
Located directly on a bus line, stop just across the street. Makes for a easy day into the city.
Plenty of shops in easy driving, grocery, laundry, restaurants, Kmart and more.
