Happy to recommend this accommodation to all. Friendly staff. Nicely presented room that was clean and had the all necessities you could want. Air conditioning worked well, shower pressure was great with plenty of hot water. Parking right outside the door. Plenty of tea, coffee and optional extras with nice little welcome chocolates on the bed. Good location. Not too noisy.

Clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and couches, convenient parking outside your door and all on ground-level. Staff were very friendly and welcoming- even allowed us an early check-in with our little one. One-bedroom was very comfortable for our family, spa/tub was a nice treat and having TVs in both the bedroom and living area was a bonus. And very reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning!
