The staff were helpful and friendly, location was good and could walk around town, waterfront.

Was a bit noisy, the shared kitchen was messy and unclean. The power plug next to bed didnt work and no heater.

In the middle of town so it was close to get to anywhere

The bathroom could’ve done with a wipe down especially the shower. The wallpaper is peeling. But it is comfortable and the staff were great.
