The property is old and basic but very clean. My issue is the deodorisers and smelly plug in things in the room. Even after removing it and putting it outside, the room smelled too strong and I couldn’t sleep.

We had the corner apartment with river views. Good value accommodation with a seperate double bedroom, comfortable twin beds in the living space (instead of a sofa bed), a lounge suite and kitchen. A little dated but perfectly fine for our needs.

Good sized bedroom and bathroom. Steep step into shower - this may be problematic for some. Also, steep carpeted stairs up to the first floor unit. Need to take a lot of care when carrying luggage. Friendly staff and comfortable bed. Reasonably quiet despite heavy trucks using nearby road.
