Stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment with single toilet and single bathroom (5 guests). Spa pool tub leaks which I notified the receptionist. Overall stay wasn’t too bad. Parking can an issue sometimes otherwise there’s not much drama. 3.5 stars for the hotel.

Well located premises and very tidy condition. There were just some things missing from the room which you would nornally see which let it down. No hairdryer, iron/ironing board or full length mirror - these are really essentials in my view.
