I unfortunately had to wait for check in but the desk staff was so lovely I didn’t mind. She handled other customers who were also waiting with grace, professionalism and empathy. I am coming back next month and look forward to another great stay.

Sound insulation in the rooms was terrible. Located next to major roadways we may as well have been in a tent given the traffic noise. You are left to your own devices re parking and very limited max 3 hour parking in the street along the front. We had to park a 10 minute walk away which was highly inconvenient. The rooms present ok on the surface, but are poorly maintained and a lot of mould on the bathroom ceiling was a concern. Staff were pleasant enough but the property doesnt cut it for the price charged.

Problem with our room - the smoke alarm in the room was faulty and went off continuously. We were quickly moved to another room. Area around the property is filthy - lots of rubbish and discarded items laying around.
