So we pretty much paid extra to have an extra (small sink). Bed were comfortable, which is important. ##### Charles Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie Oct 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort good value, clean room, comfortable, quiet ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhona Oct 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean room, friendly and helpful staff. ##### Rhona Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hillary Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Decent place - pool was great.

The main person in reception was friendly and did her best, but she seemed very inexperienced and provided what seemed like scripted, non-accommodating answers to some, what I would consider, very basic and common requests. I believe she was sincerely trying to do her best, but the lack of experience was evident. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brianna Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay with a family. ##### Brianna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa Sep 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place was spacious and super clean.
