California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good restaurant next door with a good choice of beer and supermarket just down the road if you want to get any food & drinks also. Nice hotel but could be better if staff and guests didn’t slam the room doors all the time as you don’t need to,to close the door. Lack of consideration for anybody else. Nice pool/hot tub."
