My daughter goes to school in the area and we meet up every now and again. This was my first stay there and I would definitely stay again. We loved the kitchenette option so we didn't have to go out to eat unless we wanted to.

I've stayed here quite a few times never had a problem but this last time I was laying in bed writing some notes on my phone for work I looked down and there's a mouse. Staff was friendly and promptly gave me a new room Staff said that they have had problems with it in the past and that they would have maintenance check the room in the morning.

Ok for the money. Staff was nice. I didnt sleep the first night because of the noise from the traffic. The second night i bought ear plugs and slept better.room was hot and stuffy so i had to have the loud air con on the whole time,which didnt work very well. There was breakfast which was helpful,but not good food. Carpet felt gross,but the rest seemed clean.

We have stayed here before so i had an idea what to expect. Room is spacious, bathroom is clean and well stocked and we always appreciate the space of the kitchenette and “lounge room.” Bed was cozy. My only irritation was is our room was closer to the freeway this time which was white noise i couldn’t block out.

There was no room service. There were 3 of us staying in the room, but only two towels were left. Rooms were not cleaned on a regular basis. The first room we checked into was facing a Freeway and very noisy, with two tiny beds, which was not what he saw on the picture when booking. We then moved to a different room. Again, no room service was available.
