double beds good free parking good room size good small bathroom limited space no windows single aircon setting

I had a great room with double beds. the beds were a good size. free parking was included. the room itself was also a good size. It was not pokey.

the bathroom was very small. there was not a lot of space to get dressed in there. there were no windows that could be opened, so the room became hot and full of condensation. the aircon seemed to be at one setting only.

central location big carpark

The location was central with free parking and nearby access to the local pool. A big carpark was also convenient. we loved the clean room, but the comfy beds an pillows definitely helped fall asleep easily!

The shower head was small. It made me swish around to get wet.
