The history of the building certainly adds fun to the stay, and the humorous touches that play on that history is cool. The security and keyless system works really well making the place feel very safe. ##### Gerard Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Two thumbs up.

Great place to stay. Parking is a problem if you’re late in. One mess up was that Key Code instructions did not arrive until after we had already checked out the following day. Possibly because of a late/last minute booking. Staff were able to resolve this problem via a phone call. So no problem. ##### T G A Buma Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan Jan 5, 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Amazing facility.
