Clean room, very pleasant staff. On corner of 2 busy streets so traffic noise was a slight issue but didn't affect sleep. Room locks with a deadbolt. In an emergency, it would be best if the deadbolt unlocked automatically with a turn of the doorknob. The room was inexpensive for the area and adequate for a 1 night stay.

The rooms were clean, the staff were great. They were very accommodating to point out all facilities and offer any help if needed, and clear communication throughout for a late night check in and check out. The only downside is it being so close to the main road the noise can be a bit much, but is to be expected before booking.

Lovely Christmas Stay

Checking-in was a breeze, they had noted our licence plate as we were parking up. The room was clean and tidy. We didn't expect a service on Christmas day but were pleasantly suprised on our return to the room. The bed was a little bit on the softer side to my liking but not too much of an issue. Otherwise, would happily stay here again.

Ask for room away from intersection.

Our room was right on the Bealey Street intersection, and even with the windows fully closed, it still got very noisy over night due to traffic stop starting at the lights.
