Pretty average accommodation, but you pay for what you get. The bed was rock hard and had a thick plastic mattress protector. At least the bathroom had a minor renovation.

Was a great location. Easy check-in and friendly staff. But you can hear EVERYTHING from neighbours all around. There was a mother and daughter fighting for over 30 minutes. A baby screaming throughout the night. Parking was great the first night but upon return the second night, it was quite full so had to squish in the corner. Lots of rubbish out in the carpark area.
