DougAustraliaMost enjoyable.
Everything. These people are very good operators. Location.
Noisy fridge. We had to disconnect it for the night. Shortage of power points.
CarolineAustraliaOverall, would stay again, close to everything and walking distance to everything.
Location great, value for money, clean and everything you'd expect. King bed comfy.
Because the bed was on wheels, it would move away from bed head and the pillows would fall behind bed head :(
