Didn't like the ramp from the bedroom to the kitchnette area - you expect a step in the middle of the night if getting up in the dark not a ramp :) Other than that it was clean and tidy and the front desk was very helpful on arrival

Disliked: Amenities
It is time for an update to the place as it’s looking pretty worn. The jug worked but the water tasted metallic, the top of the pan didn’t fit properly, the light above the single bed was missing and the front door really was in need of a paint job. Not real value for the price.

The property is old and basic but very clean. My issue is the deodorisers and smelly plug in things in the room. Even after removing it and putting it outside, the room smelled too strong and I couldn’t sleep.

We had the corner apartment with river views. Good value accommodation with a seperate double bedroom, comfortable twin beds in the living space (instead of a sofa bed), a lounge suite and kitchen. A little dated but perfectly fine for our needs.
