The customer interaction and service was really good. Our room only had one since in the bathroom meaning there was limited access to fresh drinking water and the tap position made it hard to fill up bottles of water. They had a sizable gym, but unfortunately, the gym also had a lot of equipment that was broken and unusable.

Comfortable beds and nice room facilities. Helpful staff and booking processes. Some guest noise from children but mainly quiet. Restful stay. Parking on site limited at times but light rail across the road is a good option for north of the lake city visits.

I think the "Pending" deposit should be cancelled as soon as possible following checkout. Some other places, it's returned within an hour of leaving. 4 hours after checkout and it's still listed as "Pending" in my account. If it's taken immediately on checkin, it can't be that difficult to cancel once the room is checked.
