Amazing for the price. Quiet and clean, albeit a little rundown-looking. Would absolutely stay and again and would recommend. My only gripe is that the shower water pressure was somewhat lacking.

I liked the location and the staff were very obliging. The unit was clean and comfortable but the whole property needed an uplift. The fountain in the front was surrounded by a weedy garden and it is supposed to be the frontispiece of the property. The unit needed a refit to make it more up to date.

The room was nothing like in advertising photo. The dining furniture was disgusting and should have been replaced a long time ago. The seat cushions were stained and dirty. The bed covers were questionable as to when they had been cleaned Overall not somewhere I would recommend staying at

Where do i start! Leaking toilet cistern held together with brown packing tape, towels threadbare and even holes in them, dirty stained dining chairs, net curtains on ranch slider door about 24 inches too long and a real tripping hazzard, iron cord damaged with bare wires showing, electric cooker cracked, bedroom side tables in poor condition.

Could be better

Place is a little run down and needs a lot of renovation. However unit was clean and had all the utensils you need. It is situated on a main road so if you have a unit at the front, street noise at night can be a problem. Manager was friendly and check in quick.
