Ok and will stay again now we know about the security bond requirement
Pros:

Location suited our visit. Close to family.

Cons:

Frustratingly they requested a copy of the credit card used for the booking but we did not have it with us. Wouldn’t take any of my husband’s cards as bookings account in my name.
Requested cash in lieu of a card and we had to run around to find this. Was told the 7/11 next door had an atm but it didn’t, even though signage in the room also suggests that.
