This property is convenient with good sized rooms and some secure parking. Carpets are tired and don’t expect to park one of the new breed of supersized utes….you won’t get in the gate! Otherwise it’s a reasonable value property.

I loved the security entry, the bathtub , the decoration piece in the towels a really nice touch; very clean,and wonderful staff ~ very understanding; bed very comfortable - I slept best I have in a while ~ fantastic that pets are welcome ~ only criticism I have is extra fee for parking when there is a car park attached to property- makes it very expensive when adding this ~ should be included in price ~ other than that I would be back in a heartbeat

A comfortable stay in a convenient location
We chose this hotel because of the price and the excellent reviews. It is close to medical facilities and there is plenty of choice for places to eat. The room we had was a little old but clean, and there was plenty of space .... and the bed was comfortable! There was a little traffic noise at night and in the morning, but not a problem as the hotel is on a side street between two major roads. Everything worked, from kitchen appliances to lights. Parking $18 p/n. Bring your own bathroom requisites as they are not supplied. Service from staff was excellent: we appreciated the phone call to explain late arrival arrangements and the friendly face behind the counter the next day.

Have stayed here twice. Great value for money. Clean, spacious apartment, kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Beautiful big windows! On site parking right at the door and an outdoor area with bbq. The staff are so lovely and accomodating-early checks ins, late check outs and even storing my items safely that I accidentally left behind.
