Whilst the room was in reasonable condition, there were indicators of wear & tear in the bathroom and main area. This would not stop me staying here again but it’s something to be aware of. The staff interactions in reception and restaurant were very professional.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The apartment was good size and space ! Great for the most part , let’s it’s self down in the details , electricians nightmare , light on the stairs timer non functional , light never goes out ! Lights in the kitchen , living room , dinning room are all on one switch , are a horrible color ( 5000k ) and you could do surgery by them but you can’t watch tv while someone is cooking ! The tv is out of the ark , I think it’s a plasma . The apt I was in 118 has a problem with outside security lighting , needs true blackout curtains because you can’t block the outside lighting , the apartment section of the complex has no amenities. Generally it’s good just lacks the touches 2.5 stars
