Shortland Budget Accommodation
Staff were great. There is a kitchen there but I didn't use it. I ate in the evenings and was very good value. It was very good value for money and my room and bed was fine. It had a kettle in the room.

Unit was comfortable, quiet and pristine but stainless steel bin in bathroom had rusty lid which rather detracts from the overall impression. Ironing board cover thin and stained and needs replacing
