Great option for our MTB road trip
Pros:

Very modern, well designed and executed room. Comfortable, with everything we needed.
We didn't have pets with us, but we noticed that the place is pet friendly, great to see dogs in the corridors, etc.

Cons:

We were on a MTBing road trip, it's not advertised as bike friendly, but it would be great if there were basic facilities to cater for that.

Overall I would stay here again just because of convenience close to family & to shops.
Pros:

Close to shopping centre. Room was a good size & beds very comfortable. Bathroom was clean.

Cons:

Cutlery in drawers was dirty. Rooms not very soundproof, could hear other guests late at night & early morning talking in hallways as walking past room.

Very good. Will definitely be back.
Pros:

I liked the location as it is one block away from my sons apartment.

Cons:

Unfortunately the lift wasn't working which meant lugging my suitcase up the stairs and back down again! Nor a major thing just annoying.

Spacious and comfortable
Pros:

Comfortable spacious apartment, well located for our purposes. Close to supermarkets and dining. We thought the hotel was great value for money and had very helpful staff. We will certainly be back.

Cons:

We found the bathroom fan annoyingly loud. Unfortunately, the lift wasn’t working, but the delay in getting parts wasn’t the hotel’s fault. There was only one level of stairs to climb.
