The room was okay, one bed had dirty sheets, we had ants all over the place, dirty walls. No lights by spa so we were in the dark when we took our kids in. With no one on site it meant we had to keep ringing. It also went to after hours at 7.30pm when it says after hours is 9pm on their call line. It was a decent size two bedroom. It could be better for sure. We also had dirty cups on check in.

The staff member was helpful, helping us set up the sofa bed and provided sheets. We were told there were blankets in the closet. There wasn't. Lots of things that need repair. Power socket hanging off the wall. Shower door didn't stop water from spraying all over the floor in the bathroom. I would not recommend for a family to stay here.

We booked a room for 4 people; 2 adults and 2 children. We were aware this meant 1 queen bed, 1 single, and 1 pull out couch. But the pull out couch didn't fit in the room, so our daughter slept on the couch as it was. Therefore, this is definitely not a 4 person room. Otherwise the location was perfect, property clean, and the room had everything we needed (other than the right amount of beds that fit in the room!).

Don’t do it is my advice. We arrived at 4.30 on check in day to find a closed office and no sign of any staff. A note on the window said if the office was unattended we should have an email giving our room number and how to access the key. There was no email. We rang the contact number provided (which obviously provided a service for multiple hotels) and were asked where we were and told that someone would be there to help us shortly. No one came as we waited in the cold for at least 10 minutes. We rang back, we were then provided with a room number and the code for the key lock box. Room ordinary and not well cleaned in parts (a piece of dental floss in the bathroom drawer which was stained and unpleasant. Did not see a staff member for the rest of our overnight stay or at checkout the next morning. Spend your money somewhere else.
