Disliked: Cleanliness
A little disappointed in this hotel. A low end two storey building but with no elevator to reach our second floor room. Would be a deal-breaker for some guests. Cleanliness wasn't what we expected... front mat at entrance hadn't been vacuumed and floors felt sticky underfoot, although this may have been due to the cleaning product used. Small fridge but no coffeemaker or microwave. Continental breakfast was OK. Not worth the price we paid but probably acceptable if it was a $99 room rate. We wouldn't stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Good breakfast options, beds were comfy and particularly liked the vinyl flooring in the room for cleanliness. Downside: toilet had a poo stain so made us wonder if it had been cleaned, and also the sink in the washroom was much too high for our toddler to reach to wash hands/brush teeth.

Basic but no problems and good service

Basic hotel with excellent service and a nice complimentary breakfast. No extras (e.g. restaurant, gym, office centre) but everything was clean and staff were super friendly. The hotel is in an industrial area with a few restaurants nearby. I was travelling on my own and was satisfied with the hotel.
