An excellent stay overall. The apartment unit was very clean and thoughtfully laid out with good amenities and attention to detail. Some of the wall paper and skirtings etc are a bit dated, but this didn’t detract from the excellent value and overall good experience here. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, very welcoming.

The room was extremely spacious, with a huge kitchen. We really liked the layout of the room, it was refreshingly different to other motel rooms. It was also well equipped, warm and comfortable. The person at check in was helpful and informative. We were very happy with our stay.
