Staff very attentive.

Ān inebriated couple were arguing loudly near our unit at 2 am. They were not moved on until 20 mins later. They kept arguing out on the footpath and returned near us for another 10 minutes.

The room was compact, clean & had some well thought out personal touches that made the room feel like a home away from home. We stayed 2 nights and room was cleaned & restocked on return. We were able to have our dog there which was an added bonus, we’ll definitely be back wouldn’t stay anywhere else 😊
