A couple of years ago I did my CPL/IR at NAC and stayed at the Wellesley Inn. I found it clean and comfortable and cost me about $800 for a month.
Most people either buy or hire a push-bike while they are there although the locals do find it a bit odd to see someone actually getting around under their own steam! Be careful cycling on the main roads around the airport perimeter, though (much safer on the pavement though almost certainly illegal).
As far as my experience at NAC went, I felt that they were well geared up for intensive PPLs with lots of Cessnas/PA28s but I had to complete my Multi IR with a small German outfit on the airfield after their only twin was landed wheels up by one of their students. They were also light on IR instructors while I was there but had plenty of PPL instructors. I could well have come home without having completed the course and was very lucky to find someone who could help out. The instruction that I had was actually very good and it may well be that NAC have specialized more in CPL training now. Good luck.
