3 day holiday break.

As a senior citizen I found it extremely uncomfortable in the Studio apartment due to the furniture choices. Other customers if young and fit would probably not have an issue. The 2 small lounge chair seats were low to the floor and painful to sit for me. The outdoor chairs were children's height wrought iron. Uncomfortable and I'm not tall, dining chairs were hard timber but at correct adult height. Not for aged. Single bed mattress was not comfortabe and supportive for me. Okay for a child maybe. Great staff and enjoyed space of studio but would not return if unit had the same furniture as experience this time with terrible spinal pain over the 3 day visit there. Great position in Kensington otherwise, but of a day area it's a fairly busy road. Close by are plenty of eating places and shopping and tourist stuff not to far to drive to attend.

Would have been nice to have a mirror in the room itself. Hard when someone is in the shower and you are trying to put makeup on or get ready in the room. No actual mirror to use.

The motel advertised that breakfast is supplied/available. Not so. Incorrect advertising. This made our stay inconvenient Also, the staff, however so nice, did not have any knowledge about eating places or places to visit. The unit was clean and the bed very comfortable.
