Pros:

Well located, short walk from dowb town.
clean room, lots of parking

Cons:

noise from other guests can be a hit and miss as the layout requires guests to walk next to others rooms.
In our case, a guest was banging on his door 5am for some time, then after around 7am another guest was having a super loud phone call . we couldn't sleep properly there
the mattress was too soft and uneven but beddings were great and clean.
all in all, it feels more like a motel with relatives renovated rooms.
