The overall service was good from staff and the facilities are decent and clean.

We were offered a complimentary breakfast due to our original room not being available - breakfast was good.

Unfortunately we were advised in the week of our booking that our original room booked was not available.

Overall not too bad

7.0

Neat and tidy with ample parking.

The window tint was peeling off so we were not too comfortable in the kitchen or dining area. Felt like people from other properties can see you.
