Yes it needs a bit of maintenance and the furniture is looking a bit tired but it's good value for money.
Beds are quite soft which suited me.
Water pressure is wonderful. All the basics are there, heaters worked really well.
One negative is some mold growth on bedroom window and around bath. Wouldn't take much to fix..
Definitely recommend if your budget is a bit compressed!
The amenities and spacious rooms for a budget motel were great. Beds were comfortable, kitchen (with microwave) was roomy, 2 TVs included in our 2 room apartment, with guest laundry facilities and ample bench space for luggage, carry bags etc. Traffic noise was not not intrusive and dissipated at night. For a basic, clean accommodation I would be happy to stay again.
The place is nice,the room are tidy and clean and soundproof,good for us to stay for a night,,highly recommended if you guys are planning to travel just visit these place you will be amazed.
