Most of all we liked the spotlessly clean unit we occupied. This made a big difference to our stay. The car park was spacious, easy to get our large vehicle in and out. The bed was very comfortable and the bed sheet white, clean and crisp. Location central to city centre, easy walk. Yes, we would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone ♥️

Awesome stay

Spent a night with family. Running for 30min around the block, just about 1km per round without crossing a street was great. Take away at Park rd, pizza and liquor were near-by. Clean beds and bath room. Compact but efficient kitchen was nice to prepare breakfast and lunch box for my son for all day sport.
