We opted for cheap accomodation as we were staying purely for convenience so we didn’t have to travel too far. We got what we paid for. It was cheap but it was very noisy and the room was not the cleanest. I wouldn’t go back but hey, what can you expect at that price.

Only problem was with the lack of room with the bathroom door, as it opens inwards if you have a towel on the rack at the sink the door gets stuck on it thats how close the door is to the sink/bench Neat, clean room, no issues otherwise

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Loved the provided breakfast options of fresh bread juice milk cereal and spreads. Good lighting. Good electric blankets. Easy friendly pre and post check in. Tv worked well. Low internet reception. Could hear people talking outside all three nights and freeway traffic. Room walls and bathroom not really maintained. Booked the room as advertised with bath but it looked unloved and dirty so that was disappointing. Scuff on walls that showed the walls were not clean. Bed was hard for me and had me tossing and turning all 3 nights.
