Exceptionally spacious accommodation with good kitchen facilities. Laundry facilities worked well although only cold wash is available which could be an issue with very soiled walking clothes. Dryer ($2) was brilliant though.

An excellent stay overall. The apartment unit was very clean and thoughtfully laid out with good amenities and attention to detail. Some of the wall paper and skirtings etc are a bit dated, but this didn’t detract from the excellent value and overall good experience here. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very welcoming.
