We were family of 3, so the room that had a 2nd level bunk was super "tight". Many little things that could easily be added/improved: * Hand towels; * More than one tiny side table; * Somewhere to put bags without absorbing the very limited space: * Aircon unit was very old and noisy; * Our bathroom hadn't been well cleaned and was smelly; On the positives: * Staff were very welcoming; * The location, despite being on a major road, was very pleasant; One final point, on checking in I was surprised to find that there would be a $5 per day parking fee. The amount is not the issue, it just struck me as a simple lack of transparency that all charges were not made clear up-front.
