          Tidy but cool”

          The unit was very tidy and had a good shower. The heater on the wall didn't seem to give out a lot of heat and this made it quite cool inside.

          Cheap and average if that's what you want”

          If you're looking for quiet this is not the place for you. Busy road and someone in the neighbour hood was having a party. Room pretty average. Needs a face lift. stains on the carpet Bathroom needs to be up dated. Plus side was it was close to where we needed to go. I wouldn't stay here again just because of the road noise.
