Very fast and easy check in. Lady on reception was Incredibly lovely. The room was spacious and very clean. Beds were slightly uncomfortable, from just what we are used to but we were only staying one night so was perfectly fine. Would highly recommend for the price especially as we had the luxury 2 bedroom apartment.

Saara

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good lay out for families, we were very glad to have electric blankets on beds. Just what we needed for our short stay and well priced. The bathroom needs attention the shower door kept catching on bottom and shower pressure then caused shower head to fall on floor, it was very hard to get it in the right position when I showered and we had to end up holding shower head so youngest could shower. We were well accommodated for when I let staff know we wouldn’t make staffed check in hours my only gripe would be it was cold and it would have been nice if heat pump had been turned on, but not I complaint just me being a little picky
