Room was ok, although it adjoined to another room with a locked door dividing it. We would hear the family very clearly in the adjoining room which was fairly annoying. Other than that it was in a good location, parking on site and relatively cheap

Bright, clean, and comfortable apartment in a convenient location. A very pleasant experience.
My daughter had fun playing with the owner’s daughter (Ruby) on the trampoline. They played together until Ruby’s mom called her to go home because it was late!
Thanks for the lovely memories!

Staff courteous and room mostly clean. Bathroom needed an upgrade - bit of mould in the shower and old flooring tiles. Towels were rough with threads so quite old and worn. Big list of rules greated you in the toom instead of a warm welcome message.
