surprisingly good stay near the station!

handy kitchen area double security train station

i loved how close i was to the train station.. literally minutes away! the room had a handy kitchen area, a super unexpected bonus for a quick trip. i felt really safe with the double security, especially since i was traveling alone.

The mattress felt a little uneven. I could feel the planks underneath.

good value near brewery

convenient location prompt response free parking

The location proved quite convenient. I easily walked to deya brewery. a steam & whistle pub nearby offered really good pizza, and madisons cafe around the corner served breakfast. staff responded promptly to emails. I recommend emailing if your access code does not arrive by 2pm the day of arrival. free parking was a definite bonus.

the main access door did not lock properly from the outside, a bit of a worry. i also noticed the windows were bolted shut, so ventilation wasn't great.
