This facility is one of the worst that we have ever stayed at. From the entry to the room it was unclean and untidy. Our last night was unbearable. The fire alarm started going off from 11:30pm until 3.30am. It went off 4 times for at least 10 minutes each time. No sign of management each time. No one told us what was going wrong or was there a fire somewhere. I’d like my money refunded.

This was perfect for what we needed, a clean room and bed for the night for a quick stopover and a nice hot shower. Simple, no fuss, barely interacted with staff as we arrived after hours and they were very organised and efficient. Will definitely return when in town.
