We had a great stay, it was clean, tidy, friendly staff, and a clean outdoor pool. The parking lot lights are bright and on all night long, but the curtains worked well to keep the light out. Very quiet, except for our neighbours shower, we could hear it every time but couldn’t hear them at all. Would stay again!

Good for the price. The room was fine. The coffe maker was great but the little cups were too small and overflowed The AC worked ok. There should be some disposable water glasses for the bathroom. You should warn people about the hefty damage deposit too
