Perfect place to stay, close to the venues we needed to travel to for basketball tournament. Close to supermarkets, dinning options and the main town centre. The afternoon receptionist was amazing when we checked in and the lady who serviced our room once during our stay was very polite. My only complaint was our room was not serviced everyday and having 3 boys and 1 playing in basketball comp, showers were needed twice a day and so we ran out of towels. But The Warehouse was just down the road so I just grabbed some from there. Would definately stay there again, full kitchen, lounge/slash dining, 2 bathrooms and no noise at all.

I liked the location and handy to amenities. Pleasant venue and helpful staff. Room was clean but could have had more utensils. Would like to try units with a kitchenette next time I stay. Yes would stay again and hopefully the restaurant would have reopened.
