Very old. Worn out chairs, very old decor and appliances...looks like original 60s shower with poor water pressure - had to run around to get wet! Budget heat pump that took ages to warm the room.

This property was older but clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable the sheets crispy clean. I rang ahead to let the staff know we’d be late, they were very accommodating. No surprises here was exactly what I was expecting, we appreciated a place to stay for the night after halfway through a long trip.

Seamless check-in but the room needed a serious upgrade. Heat pump struggled to work, fridge froze our milk, and the condition of the room was not worth what we paid. Ok if there’s nowhere else to stay.

Even though the unit is dated and would benefit hugely with $ spent to upgrade them, they were clean, with all amenities supplied and helpful staff.
