Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent property, and we were grateful for having such a spacious three bedroom apartment for our family to stay in. The location is excellent, directly opposite the RSL which does fantastic meals overlooking the river (and has a kids club during dinner time!) The room was spotlessly clean, the service was friendly, and parking and check-in was simple.
