"Very clean room, convenient location and staff excellent- they went out of their way to make us welcome. We had to check out before breakfast started so they put together a lovely packed lunch for us and showed us the fridge to store it overnight. Rooms look recently fitted and decorated, hallway was a bit tired and could be done up. Would have liked the external door to be secured. No onsite parking but we found the East Bay carpark is not too far and there’s no charge. Otherwise a fantastic stay and we would recommend."
