    The shower cubicle was really small and made it hard to get in and out of it. But other than that, everything was very good.

    I liked how close it was to where we needed to be - attending a close relative's funeral held at the funeral home next door. We also liked how close it was to a shopping centre (Northcote shopping center) and also other facilities. Great location and loved how it had its own allocated parking space for our car.

    Over all great stay..

    The only issue was no sink in the room, you assume when hiring a studio that there will be kitchen facilities like a sink for washing dishes. The staff however were very accommodating and directed me to a wash house that had big laundry sinks. So not horrendous, over all the staff were great and made up for any inconveneince with their hospitality. Great location, bed was a bit hard but for the price what can you expect. And the price was very good.. Good Shower...

    Although there were problems with checking in the first night, the weekend staff were very helpful when contacted on Sunday. The manager helped with remuneration when contacted on Monday which was greatly appreciated.

    We were in an upstairs unit and parking for room was a distance only because of the rain and carrying suitcases up in wet weather. Floors slightly buckled in our room but didn’t affect the stay just door didn’t close properly to bathroom.

    Our second time staying here. The Location to the event we were attending was great. Beds were comfortable, staff are friendly and accomodating. Would stay again but prefer lower level units.

    The shower was quite small. It looks like it used to be bigger, but they've put in a smaller one. They'd be better off making it more comfortable. We could have had more pillows. Most places generally give 2 per person. There was one each. Im sure if I have asked, we could have gotten more. I didn't like washing dishes where I had just spat my toothpaste in the bathroom. That isn't sanitary. Maybe they should take the dishes away and wash better to keep it clean?

    Tidy and clean. Was comfortable. The bed was cosy, too. Easy to get to different places. Quite central to what we needed. Was good value, and the shower had good pressure. Good value for 2/3 people.

    The shower is small and the only mirror is in the bathroom so for getting ready it would be good to have a mirror somewhere in one of the other rooms.

    The room was spacious with a separate bedroom. There was a small table and chairs and tea/coffee making facilities. The bathroom was quite big. We did not hear a lot of road noise which was a plus.

    We have stayed here numerous times. We've almost stayed in every room. It is always clean, well supplied, very quiet, and is well located. Parking is available and safe. All rooms have modern decor, carpets, TV, and kitchenette equipment. Regardless of the season, each room is comfortable. The manager is very friendly. Rate is very affordable 👌
