Great quiet location - perfect for me
It was surprisingly quiet considering there are a lot of units there, mostly residential. Close to main road but thick glass kept room very quiet which I didn’t realise until door was opened. Easy access to bus stop and IGA otherwise hire a car as city centre is 15 minutes away. Family trip not tourist trip so perfect for me.

It’s what you would expect for a more budget friendly option and definitely did the job, it would just have been nice if the black mould was cleaned out of the bathroom so that I didn’t feel like I needed to shower with my thongs on.
