Finding parking on the street can be iffy.
The room is comfortable, but a bit cramped.
The bathrooms are clean. A bin in the room would have been handy.
Good value for a one night stay in the city.

When I booked it said free parking at the premises!
Was on street parking that had to pay for 2 hours!
Had to pay a deposit $100 which is going to be refunded?
Was only shown stairs to the room level !
Had to report poor quality of television service!
Was rectified quickly!

Loud stairs and noisily elevator
Good hotel, very quiet except the metallic stairs and elevator. The metallic stairs are very noisy and loudly resonate when people use it. The elevator rings every time it gets to request floor, which is useless and pretty annoying. Those noises can be heard from the room and hear plugs are necessary in evening and morning if you want to sleep

We a good stay at Lily Sands. Very good location. Unfortunately, the TV did not work, the Air-conditioner made a huge noise and the shower curtain was not sufficient to keep the bathroom floor dry.
It started raining during the night, which caused the tree next to the window to slam it's branches onto the walls and window f the building. Very scary noise. Did not sleep well.

Comfortable, friendly service, great location
I stayed here twice in two weeks, having returned due to the friendly service and great location from my first visit. Only downside was it can be a bit noisy from the street. The comfortable bed and clean facilities made up for this.
