awesome stay, amazing value!

large screen kitchen extras labeled fridge
the double room with a private bathroom was a great size! it had a large screen tv and a seating area. the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, and cutlery. every room had a labeled fridge and freezer shelf. there were even kitchen extras like paper towels, cling wrap, and foil (so useful!). off street parking was available too.
the location is on a main road, so there was some noise.

adequate, but some issues

institutional kitchen no on-site staff
the on-site parking was definitely useful.
The kitchen situation was not ideal. i found that there was no one on-site permanently, and that was a bit unsettling. additionally, i encountered an institutional kitchen. This was not what i expected, and it detracted from my stay.

charming and convenient stay

useful kitchen comfortable bed easy parking
I stayed for a week and found the kitchen facilities very useful. There are actually two kitchens. fridge, freezer and cupboard space were plentiful. the bed was comfortable, and the room had a good shower. parking was easy and within a short walking distance to the centre.
the bathroom flooring always felt a little wet, a minor inconvenience, but noticeable. i was also only given one bath towel and one hand towel.
