“This property feels more like a series of motel-style apartments than a traditional hotel, which many find convenient. Its ample free parking and close proximity to the city centre are significant advantages, complemented by a welcoming and laid-back staff. While some areas show their age, the rooms themselves are clean and appear well-maintained, offering a quiet base that's easy to return to.”
