Clean, nice and comfy bed! Super sweet and helpful staff. Even had a tiny French press coffee (and the coffee ofc) besides the two types of instant coffee. Felt they had put a lot of care into the experience of the stay.

Great location. Easy walking to many convenience stores and fast food outlets. Walls are a bit thin and a sliding door was pretty ordinary, but despite this would definitely stay at this location again!

Property is close to shops such as IGA and Pizza shop nearby. The rooms are small, bed is worn out amd needs new matress Good ac, heater and minibar plus tea and coffee

6/10

Adequate for 1 nights accommodation - small room and bathroom, beds were quite hard but the shower was great. pizza/takeaway shop next door handy for late arrival and IGA across the road was super helpful and open early on a Sunday morning. Extremely small town with nowhere to get coffee Sunday morning or have breakfast out so the IGA was good.
