A very comfortable and clean pet friendly place to stay.
Pros:

This was the first time we had travelled with a pet and we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the room. Although parking was described as "limited" and "not allocated" we didn't have any difficulty parking next to our room.

Not recommended
Pros:

Nice rooms for the price

Cons:

Rooms weren’t serviced in 4 days. Office hrs were not as advertised. Laundry room had cut off hrs but were locked much earlier than stated on signage. Travelling for sport, many families were unable to access the washing facilities in shortened timeframes. Resulting having to wash items in shower or basins.
