Nicely appointed unit. Parking was difficult, bed was hard and pillows quite flat. Cannot fault the cleanliness or space of the unit. One large SUV parked in the middle park meant the parks other side were useless on the level our unit was on even for our small car. ##### Tricia Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicky Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed in room #1 & it was an impressive size. Both bedrooms had more than enough space. Bathroom also pretty roomy, but definitely dated. Clean & seriously great shower water pressure, but the shower box was on its last legs. The downside was when guests moved in upstairs. Every footstep, every trip to the bathroom, every time they turned the water on, it echoed through our room. It is just one of those things when you are away from home, but maybe some additional insulation in the ceiling might help to dull the noise a little. All in all, I would stay again, the location was excellent & the stay overall was really good value. ##### Nicky Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amandeep singh Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very good ##### Amandeep singh Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Helpful staff and efficient check in.
