This is an ultimate budget room. Some would say it's fine, it has a bed and bathroom but I felt very dirty in it. Box air con looks filthy, bathroom was tiny and toilet got wet when showering, no basin in bathroom, no hand towel or soap, was only given 2 pillows and they were paper thin. Would have preferred to pay an extra $50 and stay somewhere comfy across the road.

Staff was rude on arrival. One word quetions and answers. "Yes, credit card, room, stairs". Didn't say hello or welcome. Might had a bad day but really no excuse. Room was cosy, thin pillow but all in all the room was good.

The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower had great pressure if a little quirky as it was a raised cubicle. I found the amenities great and exactly what I needed for my trip. Thanks for a great stay.
