28 July 2010 Brett would recommend this property

Liked: Good location, in the middle of everything.

Disliked: Renovations were happening at the time and no mention of this anywhere. The smell of paint was overwhelming. Due to the paintings, no numbers on doors so very confusing for almost everyone on our floor

Liked: Location was good, it was on the main street, only 1 block away from the other side of the town, and 1 block away from High Street. The building was secure and it was clean. Breakfast was organized and nice, eve though it was just toast, cereal, coffee and tea.

Disliked: 1. free internet did not work 2. you'd have to pay if you want your stuff to be put into a locker
