It is a simple, clean and mostly quiet place to stay. Most of the rooms are dark and the shower leaves a bit to be desired. That said, it has everything you need as long as you’re not looking for plush comforts or a light and airy feeling. On a map, if it appears as though he location is on Cravens Road you have the right place.All in all, the price is suitable for what you get. ##### Neil P.

If you're looking for a fancy place, this may not be what you want.
