Clean. Convenient economical. Most places have a sheet about their facilities. This was advertised as bed and breakfast. There was a kitchen but there was a prominent notice "Kitchen facilities to be used by staff only". (Quoted from memory. Probably referring to equipment. I just wanted cereal and milk, but with that "rule" I left with no breakfast and bought on the road. If bed and breakfast the breakfast shold be findable.

This was very reasonably priced at 85 for me and my daughter for 1 night. It was a cute clean small room with 2 single beds and a mirror. The shared bathroom was clean and approx 2metres away from our room and the shared kitchen & lounge within 5-6 metres away. My daughter is in a wheel chair and although its not an accessible place i was able to wheel her up the step to our room and bathroom easily. There was a beautiful walkway over a bridge with a skate park, wonderful childrens park and beautiful views one minute away walking. The room got slightly cold but there was extra blankets the beds were comfortable. Staff friendly and not annoying
