Apart from saying was free parking included was fine but not true re parking which is by number plate & only free 5pm-8am & then first hour free & $2 per hour but a max of 3 hours so need to find somewhere else if want more than 3 hrs. Otherwise is central spot & good.

Great stay. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The room is what you’d expect from a dorm room. The safe was a bit small but was present. The facilities were clean and convenient.
