The location was excellent. The room was decent and kitchen was clean when this one older chap was on cleaning duty which means it wasn’t the staff but the messy people using the kitchen. The staff keeping the bathrooms were good. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. All to say, we would stay there again.

Veronique

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were beautiful, there wasn't one person who wasn't friendly. We stayed in one of the private rooms and while small it worked for what we were doing. However, the bathroom always smelt and when I was doing a final check of the room, I checked under the bed for anything I might have missed and there was so much garbage under the bed that wasn't mine, it makes me concerned how much the room is properly cleaned in between people. Overall, it was a nice stay for the weekend if you're not the room for much more then sleep
