I liked having my own room. Even though it was pricey, the privacy was what needed at that time. Air circulation was questionable. The room had a stuffy odour by the time I checked out. I decided not to cook since the kitchen facility was very crowded.

Staff were lovely. The Single room was clean and tidy, no noise from the pool hall/bar below. Added bonus that there was a pool hall. Clean bathroom and showers. Was simple and adequate and the carpet was clean and new-looking. AND parking was free!! Yeah. I intend to stay again. Keep up the good work!! Unlike the hotel I had stayed in 6 months prior that was dated, in desperate need of a carpet shampoo and had a very uneven floor and cost way to much.

Only If the shower place can be warmer in the winter season, everything will be fine for a backpacker. By the way, Thanks for the final arrangement for my family.
