I chose the cheapest room for a quick overnight stay, was surprised it was so comfortable. The bed was snug and the shower was good. Everything was very clean and tidy, plus plenty of safe parking.

Double glazing although expensive would help cut the noise from the nearby busy road.
Fulton Hogan work crews staying at the same time, kept us awake chatting in a large group outside after 11pm.

The rooms were very clean, but they are old. The breakfast was ok, but they didn’t refill the trays when food had all gone. I felt for people who came after us, because their choices were limited

Basic accommodation
Good points: comfortable bed, large shower, breakfast included. Not-so-good points: shoddy furniture and surroundings, room very small, only one teaspoon and no way to wash up cups and glasses, dining facilities quite poor.

Helpful with check-in and questions. Breakfast was very good.
No AC only a fan. Opened door to balcony to blow in cooler air. Got bitten by bugs. No screens on door or windows to keep bugs out.
