Pros:

The beds were clean, soft and comfortable

Cons:

The furnishings are very sparse. The place needs to be aired out to reduce the smell of mildew and the oven and dishwasher could do with a good clean. Overall, the accommodation is a bit old and tired.

On a positive note the room was very clean and tidy. It had little extra bonuses.like shaving kits sanitary bags full si
Pros:

Room was nice and big and clean

Cons:

The breakfast was very average not worth $60. Food was stone cold and you had to ask them to fill up the juice jugs and hot food as they were empty or they were stone cold, and the bed was way too soft.

Good location, clean and well appointed.
Pros:

Clean, easy to manage booking, check in and check out. Pleasant staff. All amenities as advertised.

Cons:

Hairdryer is one of the old attached-to-the-wall types so hard to manoeuvre. Staff were out with a leaf blower at 07:30 on a Saturday morning which was not fun to wake up to.
