Liked: Amenities
Reception staff were amazing. Easy check in and out and room to store luggage. Spent time with us to help sort out trips. We stayed for 4 nights and did not have our room cleaned once which was disappointing. I asked for fresh towels during the stay which were delivered to our room and put on an unmade bed. I felt the room should have been cleaned at least once during the stay. Only one mirror in the bathroom would have been nice to have had another in the living area Overall though thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very good value and although a little further out from marina ubers we’re cheap and quick to get

Property in walking distance to where we were going for a work function. Very clean. Free undercover parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only fault was the air conditioning was not a consistent temperature.
