Pros:

There is nothing about this place to like, its essentially a halfway house masquerading as budget accommodation.

Cons:

Everything, I paid for a 'queen room' which looked reasonable in the imagery online but ended up with a double bed that was a worn out mattress (i could feel the springs just sitting on it) and a dual zone futon type (looked more like a roof rack) frame.

I asked to swap rooms, as per what I had booked and was told I would have to pay extra. When I raised a maintenance issue with the owner, he complained about being too busy and told me to go find the maintenance person.

There is a 'curfew' that noone followed, often making noise well past midnight almost every night.

Upon arrival, there was a towel (about the size of a bath mat) strategically placed on the bed to cover 2 very obvious stains on the doona cover.

The 2 pillows together were about the thickness of a folded towel.

Once I had paid for the 'non-refundable booking, I received a message telling me essentially not to expect quality and featured the words, to effect, 'Karen's will not like it here'.
