"Great stay if passing through"

7.0

Location is great! Backpackers is well established and has everything you need for your stay. Bathrooms could use a little update, but manageable! Overall was a comfortable stay with good gate security.

Came with a car and its street parking which I did worry about with my stay, but it says this on the website and they have a security camera on this area.
