Lovely clean and spacious apartment with easy access and good parking. Ideal for an overnight stay on a road trip.
Easy check in with friendly staff. Room a little tired but clean with a comfy bed. Had all the amenities you would need. Easy reach of shops.

Really handy to the town and shopping and cafes.
Unfortunately the unit was cold on arrival...no heating turned on and extremely cold day. Unit was very clean and tidy.
There was a locked door to the next unit and you could hear all conversation.
