It is very modern and so thought out with lovely decor, and everything we needed. We had a heat pump and electric blankets which is amazing in the cold winter. It was small, the bedroom was very small. It was ok for one night but if we stayed longer, it wouldn'tve been sufficient..the couch was too small and uncomfortable. There was no one at reception or staying on site so that feels unsafe. The price was high for the size of the unit but overall it is cleaner and nicer decor than a lot of motels we have stayed in, because it's newly renovated by the looks. Loved the bathroom and shower.

Good stay but a few things to iron out

Pretty good stay overall however unit 2 which we stayed in has an aircon controller that only allows you to turn it on/off. No control over temperature, fan speed etc. The pillows were quite thin as well. Apart from this, the room was great. Very clean and had a good kitchen to make simple meals.
