This room was perfect for our needs and the staff was truly wonderful.
Pros:

ALL of the staff was fabulous, above and beyond in every way. I appreciated the cooktop. My children have allergies, and we can not eat out every meal.

Cons:

Carpet could have been vacuumed better. Otherwise great.

Pros:

החדר גדול, נקי ומרווח, מטבח מאובזר ונוח.

Cons:

המיטות לא נוחות, קפיצים מרעישים, אי אפשר לכבות את המזגן, הוא נדלק לבד קבוע, המקרר הרעיש, היה רעש מהמעלית, החדר מעלינו כל הזמן הזיז דברים וגילגל מזוודות או שזה חדר של התחזוקה וזה ממש הרעיש כל הזמן.
הריח מחוץ למלון היה זוועה, זבל אורגני או משהו כזה..אי אפשר היה לשהות בחוץ.

Fantastic hotel would recommend
Pros:

Cons:

Nothing, lovely stay and all good.

Nice place to stay. Loved the amenities.
Pros:

I stayed here for the kitchenette as there weren't many restaurants near by that were open late. Having laundry facilities for guests is a great idea. Room photos online are very accurate.

Cons:

Could have used more parking in the front. SMH at the kitchenette set up, which I found mildly inconvenient; not enough for a bad review. There were only 1 or 2 plates / forks. There was a dishwasher but only 1 pod. There was soap to handwash dishes, but no sponge. There were 2 pots and 2 lids but the sizes didn't match. No skilllet. Most people must just use the microwave.
