8.2/10 Very Good! (116 reviews)

It was suitable for us as we were just staying before we got up early for a flight at the airport. The lady who welcomed us was lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The room was dated, sofa bed my son slept on was very thin. The bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while, but the shower worked well. We did have two little cube windows that had no blind so we had to cover them up ourselves. The TV was also very glitchy. It is positioned in a good area to go grab dinner though, easily walkable.

9/10 Wonderful! (824 reviews)

It was fine. Location was a mile from town - in hindsight i wish we were closer to the action. Hot tub was okay. Townhouse AC wouldn't stay on. Washer & dryer were great and easy to use. I did like the trifold doors ti let the breeze in. Water for bathtub was yellow... batgroom tile needs attention. Did love heated floors in bathroom. Ultimately it was fine but probably wouldn't stay there again. Probably perfect for families.
