A little bit of excellence in every way.
It was roomy, quiet, warm and very comfortable. It had full kitchen facilities and I think we may have been upgraded. It is close to Merivale and within walking distance from eateries and shops. The staff were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. It is one of our favourite places.

We loved the cleanliness and the space to move around. A couple of things could have done with a bit of updating, otherwise very comfortable and ideal for a short stay.

This was a quick stay for us to be close to the airport for an early morning flight. We were pleasantly surprised by how well it worked out: Staff was very nice, the space was good for a family of 5 (or larger), and the beds were comfortable with heated mattress pads! The kitchen area is not large, so it's best for short stays or people not planning on doing tons of cooking. We were happy with our stay for the price point especially!
