Great location and friendly staff.
Pros:

Reception was super friendly and got us checked in quick. Great instructions. Best check in I’ve had in a long time.

We just used the room. Didn’t have time to check out other facilities.

Cons:

Could hear neighbour and hallway noise during the night. Unfortunately made it a little hard to get to sleep. Extractor fan turned on automatically when bathroom light turned on meaning we probably disturbed neighbours when we got up early.

I wouldn’t stay here again
Pros:

The location and ability to have a family of 5 stay in the same unit

Cons:

The water pressure and temperature was absolutely terrible.
The place looks tired and needs an upgrade. It was very noisy with people going down the corridor late at night.
