    We enjoy staying here, we will be back again

    Its location, close to our daughter, it was clean, comfortable and we really look forward to relaxing on the spa bath after work

    There was a bottle of exit mould in the bathroom, the owner (not the managers, they are awesome) needs to let the managers fix the lock on room 4, and also to fix the problem of the amount of water that ends up on the bathroom floor after a shower. The modern saloon type shower door doesn’t really work to keep the water in the shower and you have to use all the towels to mop up the floor so you don’t slip. This is actually not safe, so please Owner, fix these issues.
