Great stay, great location.
Very good stay. Clean. Surprisingly quiet for a busy road. Comfortable and spacious room with all we needed. The shower was small but acceptable. The only slight issue was lack of water pressure. We would very happily stay here again and appreciate the free and convenient parking. Great location for walking to the centre of the city - restaurants, cafes, bars and shops within a few minutes walk.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean but in need of an update. The crockery was so thick I need two hands to lift my coffee cup. The outside needed a real clean, the glass on the outside staircase you couldn’t see through. The heater I thought I was supposed to use didn’t work so spent the evening wrapped in my coat. It was a disappointment. However, the location is great and it could be an amazing motel with some work.
