Nice place close to most things.
Pros:

The situation and the upmarket fittings and furniture.

Cons:

Insufficient heating in the main room.
The bathroom could do with heating lamps.
It would be a very cold place in winter.

Pleasant enough but overpriced. Restaurant/ cafe wasn’t operational, maybe hard to get staff 🤷🏻‍♂️
Pros:

Location was ok. Room was spacious and clean. Heater and electric blanket worked well.

Cons:

Was expensive at $240 a night. There was a restaurant on site but wasn’t operational. There was a wet spot on the floor at the doorway to the bedroom that didn’t go away, kinda weird!

PO our Accommodation.
Pros:

Didn't like the accommodation at all. Parking was good. Location was good

Cons:

The room was cold, main heater broken. Had to use a small oil heater, slow to warm anything up. Very small uncomfortable Couch. Was not told about the Wi-Fi no password given.
Crockery was poor barely enough for 2 people. Bed position was horrible and mattress was rock hard. TV was not a smart TV and was extremely small and in a terrible position.
Bathroom had a bad tripping hazard at the door. Water pressure in the shower was awful. No hairdryer provided.
Not worth the $240 dollar per night at all.

Great price and very comfortable
Pros:

Location was great. Room was comfortable and clean. Had enough and if you wanted to cook you could. Comfortable bed.

Cons:

If anything, the quality of the toilet paper was something I didn’t like.

as above
Pros:

was in a good location

Cons:

The place was well overpriced for what it had for offer. the tv was tiny, a phone screen held up on the bed had a wider view. The toilet seat was broken,the shower head was so high up the hot water was hard to tune and cold. Very poorly built and felt more like a bunker. very overpriced but possibly paying for location because it’s not for the unit.
