Was great for our group of teenagers and coaches as we were in Wgtn region for a tournament.
Pros:

good for our group of people that we had staying (teenagers and adults - were able to seperate people out appropriately for sleeping arrangements.

Cons:

Could design the kitchen area a little better - very short on bench space. also to have a bigger couch and a lounge chair would be good.
I also found the light from the walkway shone through the glass front door at night - maybe a blind could be installed on the door. Bed also seemed very soft but was quite comfortable.

Great stay here with big family rooms. Good location and would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Great location, and enough room for our whole family as described. Loved having the upstairs rooms to put the kids to bed and having downstairs for the lounge.

Great location. Is clean but needs some maintenance.
Pros:

Great location. Easy if you have a car. Lots of parking. Liked that the room was split into two levels which meant my Son and I could have some privacy.

Cons:

It really is tired. Just some basic maintenance would be a good idea - like the ranch slider wouldn’t stay locked unless the dead bolts were in, the window by the shower only had one catch, a door stop was falling off. Also the light from the outside lights made the room at night quite bright - could use a blind on the window on the front door.

Location +
Pros:

Comfy beds, great water pressure un the shower and a perfect location. The room was a decent size and we found it clean and tidy. They serviced the room each day. A decent small bottle of milk was provided which as also appreciated.

Cons:

Noisy neighbour's and out of date guest information. We planned breakfast there but they dont do a cooked breakfast. With a diabetic partner we were extremely disappointed by this.
