We enjoyed our time here and felt it was great value for money. We would happily stay again.
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay! The bathroom was one of the highlights, it was nice, clean, and fully stocked with quality toiletries and plenty of fresh, fluffy towels. The bed and linens were also very comfortable and spotless.

We appreciated the secure room doors and swipe-access main doors, which gave us peace of mind during our stay. The kids especially enjoyed the hot tub!

There were also plenty of parking spaces, which was very convenient. The location was great too, with restaurants, pubs, and Pak’nSave all nearby.

Overall, a clean, comfortable, convenient place to stay and definitely great value for money. We’d happily stay here again!

Cons:

The buffet breakfast could have had a little more variety in the food options. Other than that, we were very happy with the service. The buffet staff were really pleasant, friendly, and provided great customer service.
