Cancelled pur booking as soon as we walked in and didn't stay paid a cancellation fee.
Pros:

The facility is more like a NDIS half way house with I love NDIS stickers on the front door and feels like a hospice. Not very inviting. We cancelled our booking straight away qith a cancellation fee. I suggest you read other reviews I strongly recommend it be recommend from an accommodation option as it smelt like bleach and extremely cold. The accommodation also do there own washing and hang it uout side so not to hygiene standards.

Cons:

Everything

Pros:

L'emplacement.
Lors de notre séjour, il faisait froid la nuit ( ~5°C).
Il s'agit de vieux batiments... On nous a proposé des couvertures à l'enregistrement. On avait un chauffage dans chaque chambre. Il y avait un fauteil massant dans chaque chambre.

Cons:

La chambres est petite. Il y a le lit, le fauteil chauffant, une petite table. et une petite place pour la valise, mais pas pour circuler.
Aller à la salle de bain ( pour une douche ou un petit besoin ) est une preuve de courrage, il devait faire aussi chaud dans les partie communes que dehors ( 5°C). Dommage qu'il n'y a aucun endroit ou s'assoir en dehors de la chambre.

荷物を預けられて助かりました。
Pros:

マッサージチェアーが、niceでした。
早く着いたにもかかわらず、チェックインして下さいました。

Cons:

好みにもよりますが、建物自体は、古いものだと思います。水道の蛇口を止めるのに力が必要でした。
