Great location but needs some love
Pros:

Location great.

Cons:

Our bed was uncomfortable with a bed head that moved constantly, extension power boards dangling behind the TV dangerously and the bathroom was very tired. Mould in silicone.

Great spot but needs work
Pros:

Fantastic location

Cons:

Spa didn’t work, rooms need updating, no test and tag on electrical appliances potentially in breach of law, linen while clean needed replacing. Whole place is in a fantastic spot, just needs bringing into the 2020’s

Comfy and spacious best location in Penguin.
Pros:

LOts of room to hang your clotes and loved the seperate area for the toilet and the two rooms set up for bathroom and where toilet was and iron and clothes to hang area. Lots of power points which is always a big bonus. And lovely lobby with a nice welcoming touch.

Cons:

Fridge could be larger and a table with chairs would be prefered as we love our breakfast in our room early in the morning as there wasnt an outside area to sit. Otherwise fantastic set up and we will be back.
