Sorry I cannot honestly review this as when we entered our room the intense smell of body odour, due to unknown reasons was very noticeable and off putting. Not sure that you want that to be known.

Property was a perfect location for our needs. Directly across the road from stadium. Lots of parking and were allowed to park longer after we had checked out. receptionist was really nice and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and clean and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy and we had plenty of room for luggage. The only fault was housekeeping coming in around 9am while we were in our PJs having breakfast and started cleaning the kitchenette and bathroom. Apart from that we were really happy with our stay. Would definitely stay again.
