This is an older property but clean & tidy and a great location. Easy walk to shopping/restaurants & also to connect onto riverside walking track. Standard kitchen facilities but had high quality tea, coffee, hot chocolate which was a nice touch. Good off street parking & outdoor chairs/table. Self service laundry available for guests. Basic bathroom amenities so best to bring your own. Would definitely stay again.
