What recent reviews say

Location and price draw guests, but room quality and maintenance are inconsistent. Staff friendliness varies; some guests praise reception staff helpfulness, while others report dismissive management when raising issues. Rooms often smaller or dirtier than photos suggest, with dusty carpets, bathroom odours, and non-functional equipment. Worth a short stay over longer bookings if you prioritise value and location over room standards.

Most guests find the space suitable for group stays with parking and a convenient spot between town centres. One stark 2016 review documented extensive cleanliness failures (cockroaches, stains, broken fixtures, musty odours) and slow maintenance response; recent positive reviews suggest improvement, though the disparity warrants checking unit condition ahead of booking.

Most stays bring praise for cleanliness, space, and a convenient location steps from shops and Cameron Centrum. Beds are comfortable, rooms come with their own bathrooms, and families appreciate the peaceful setting. However, some guests report musty smells, inconsistent cleaning, patchy WiFi, and isolated incidents of tense host interactions around bookings. Quality seems variable room to room and visit to visit.
