Clean room, staff were great and room was warm and safe
This was an amazing property and I would highly recommend it to anyone!! Very clean and staff were so helpful and friendly. Room was well equipped and clean!
It was a perfect base for exploring invercargill. It was clean, spacious, very comfortable and well appointed. Certainly exceeded our expectations for the price and would happily stay here again should we come back to Invercargill
Very clean and pleasant place to stay in the edge of town. We had a room for three, which was spacious…one bed was in the living area with the second bedroom separate. Worked well for our little family
We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend, comfortable beds and cleanliness for an old establishment was fantastic, the girls who service the rooms daily do an amazing job and work incredibly hard.
