Nice and tidy room for two - 2 x single beds. Had a full fridge, stovetop, microwave and oven, which I didn't realize at booking - great to know for next time for a longer stay. One thing to note: I don't think there was a hairdryer but there was an ironing board and iron. A short stroll and you're at Sunshine station and so getting around is a breeze. The staff were very welcoming and helpful!

Property was very comfortable and the room was very well equipped. But the area around felt run down and industrial. The requirement to submit lots of personal data on an app to register to stay was unnecessarily intrusive.

I specifically asked for a room without a connecting door, the lady on the phone was very accommodating promising me that she would put a note on my reservation that I wouldn't have a connecting door but when I checked in that request was ignored. I didn't even stay one night in your hotel.
