Avoid this place at all costs. Unless you enjoy staying with insects, breathing in cigarette smoke, and living in a room
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed. Cockroaches and insects were everywhere, there was a strong cigarette smell throughout the property, and the carpet was covered in dust and dirt.

After checking in, I felt so uncomfortable with the condition of the room that I checked out within a couple of hours. I did not feel safe or comfortable enough to stay overnight. The accommodation was simply unliveable.

I genuinely do not understand how this place is allowed to operate in its current condition. In my opinion, it requires urgent inspection and action from the local council.

Photos deceiving. Room disgusting. Location your worst nightmare.
Pros:

It has potential.

Cons:

Pictures are so deceiving. My husband and I wanted to have a little getaway here. But we ended up leaving 3 hours after checking in. Almost everything was broken, stained or dirty or all of the above. Even the suburb was… uncomfortable. No one spoke English and they stared at you as if you aren’t welcome there. The staff were ok though not friendly not particularly rude.
