Very comfortable bed, reasonably cumfy sofa, spotlessly clean, spacious accommodation and the location is excellent. A couple of little niggles - the bathroom taps were very hard to turn off, and the switch to move the shower water from the tap to the shower had to be pushed really hard to keep the shower running. We'll happily stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was big but a lot of wasted space where the desk is. Both the bedroom and bathroom could have been made bigger and the desk area removed. The split system air con in the room is not practical, it cools down the lounge but the bedroom remains hot and stuffy, and you can’t open the bedroom window unless you want flys or insects flying in as there is no fly screen. You are given like 20 coffee sachets in the room and only enough milk for 1 coffee each. Having to pay for parking on top of paying for your room is ridiculous, and there is limited parking spots on each level for guest parking.
