Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Easy to find, good parking with friendly staff
Negative: Bed wasn’t the comfiest, two singles pushed together, however, at different height, created a bit of a bump in the middle. Also, top floor very warm (expected) air con not very good. So room was warm and stuffy.
Summary: Clean and friendly atmosphere. Perfect for a cheap get away.
