It was only an overnight stay and ok but just very basic- thought it quite expensive for such basics
Pros:

Very basic room but clean - bed was very comfortable

Cons:

Better pillows with more neck support would be great.
Some tissues in the room would be great too!

Comfortable and clean
Pros:

As a single female traveler I felt safe. The front desk was extremely kind and gave me a quiet room with great security. I was very pleased with her concern and accommodation to my concerns .
Lovely

Good location, clean rooms, fairly quiet AC unit, free parking
Pros:

Nice staff, great location, clean rooms, comfy beds, fairly recent AC unit - not too loud, free parking. Had a very easy and peaceful time here. Would stay here again.

Cons:

2nd floor rooms on the south-eastern side of the building are a pain to get to with luggage - no elevator and no staircase on the side of the building for easier in-and-out access.

Not enough hooks to hang/dry towels on - needs to be a pair of hooks or a towel bar on the wall next to the sink. It needs to be high enough for bathroom towels to hang without touching the floor. The hooks in the bathroom are not enough and the air circulation there is not enough to dry the towels.

The sink is next to the bed - it's a clever space-saving solution, but far from ideal if one person is falling asleep while the other is brushing their teeth - one person needs quiet and darkness while the other needs light and is making noise.

Great place to stay if you're just looking for a solid, safe, quiet place to rest for a night or two
Pros:

Convenient location along my route to my destination.
Friendly staff and no nonsense amenities.

Cons:

The blinds on the windows need fixing. That's literally the only reason I didn't mark everything at top possible score. The oversight is Understandable, however, in this economy. Not a big deal at all but I get fixated sometimes haha.

Pros:

The rooms and bathrooms were clean and beds were comfortable. It is a no frills accommodation and was fit for our purpose as we just needed a place for the night while we explored the area. Good location if you have a car but a bit of a run around to cross the road if you need public transport. The staff were friendly.

Cons:

Good location if you have a car but a bit of a run around to cross the road if you need public transport.

The traffic
