This is a great property. While the facility is clearly older, it is very well maintained and even gives a cool retro vibe. We stayed for one night but would have loved to stay longer. Everything in the area is walkable including this location. The heated blankets were a nice touch and the studio that we were in had dishes and a full kitchen set up. Very clean and all around comfortable! Instructions were clear and it was a great stay overall.

Modern clean apartment close to waterfront
Really nice modern clean apartment close to the waterfront and town centre.
Good facilities, nice patio with table & chairs. Very comfortable bed.
Great coffee and food at Espy’s and the museum worth a visit.
