Manager was polite & friendly.
Room was very tired, a little manky, but great location for the Cadel Evans weekend rides.
Very noisy with road traffic etc.,
No amenities to speak of.
Free off street parking was great.
Very basic accommodation, but cheap and did the job.

Large room with good amenities, Only one light worked in the bathroom, and no fan.
Rooms not soundproofed from street noise, but beds were comfy and we arrived late and checked out early so that was sufficient to our needs.
