Property was great, just didn’t like the idea of only being allowed 1 parking space per unit. Booked a 2 bed apartment with 3 other people in separate cars & they had to find alternative parking

Location was great room standard and clean. Down fall was only lift working so a bit of a wait. Staff need to be a bit more trained when a fire alarm goes off, as no head count was taken for safety reasons, nor any communication with the guest during the procedure! Besides that had a good stay would recommend
