The room had good amenities including a coffee machine. The bathroom was great and the beds comfy. On-site parking was a huge plus (very convenient!).

Studio Stay with Some Disappointments

difficult check-ininsufficient privacy

The check-in process was not smooth. Finding my room was difficult. The rooms were not numbered, so I tried my key card on several doors until one worked. This caused unnecessary stress upon arrival.. I also found the bathroom to be less than ideal. It had only a sliding partition door offering minimal privacy and it flooded easily.

Great Amenities and Convenient Location

The room had a toaster, a coffee machine, an oven, and a fridge, amazing. A coffee shop is two minutes away. I found a pizzeria and restaurants within three minutes. A petrol station is also close with a three-minute car ride. Free parking was available down the ramp behind the building.

The check-in process was a bit confusing, and the initial password provided was not the correct length, I needed to use SMS password.
