Average
The kitchen, laundry, dining and lounge shared area is very well appointed and our bed was very comfortable.
The shower door in room 7 doesn't slide properly and the hairdryer doesn't work.
Auto hall lights activated for no reason through the night and the light was cast into our room around the door jambs.
We were kept awake by a very squeaky bed in another room and late arrivals stomping through hallways and using their mobiles.
Good value for the price. Clean and tidy, has a good common area dining, kitchen, rest area.
Only issue was finding the property in the dark - the sign was illuminated but hard to see/read.
There checking process using text messaging and coded locks was very good.
Nice,quite pleasant place, recommend for all travellers

We have stayed here before - it is perfectly situated to family we come down to see. It’s always very quiet, always clean, has everything we need for short or long term stay
Liked location, facilities, size of room
Didn't like driveway, smoke alarm going off ( due to smoker?), noise of person going up to computer area on and off throughput the night- noise on steps and having light on and off woke me several times
Excellent property, close drive distance to all things Newcastle. The room was clean and comfortable. Excellent bed. Very quiet with dark curtains. Very very good value. Parking is close and safe. We really enjoyed our stay 😊
