Affordable and comfortable.
Pros:

It was a good price. It was comfortable. And location was good. Close to northlands mall and on the bus route.

Cons:

The toilet started to stick on our last night in room 64. Just kept flushing and took a long time to stop. Otherwise everything else was great! Oh one thing would be to have a couple of plates and cutlery in each room but no big deal to walk to kitchen to get those!

Pros:

Everything was amazing. Good space. Had a table and chairs inside for food. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

Just a suggestion. The shower head is quite small and old and does not move or swivel or anything. Water falls right down by the drain and it is challenging to shower
