Wow my stay was relaxing and quiet. The staff was very professional, helpful and caring. The room was surprisingly large, big living room area, the kitchen was spacious had a lot of amenities if you needed to use or even borrow an appliance it was available. The bedroom was peaceful. My stay was pleasant, comfortable and I felt safe and secure. Great job everyone!

I tried to call 5 times to get through to tell them I would be arriving after midnight. Finally got hold of a central agent who wrote a ticket up so the hotel would be notified. In the morning there was no coffee even there was sugar & creamer. But a good little gym downstairs and very close to the airport which is what I wanted and the price was good!

Room wasn’t available at check in time, lobby smelled of mold. Bed uncomfortable, and water pressure was non existent. It was adequate for a single night, will look for different accommodation in the future
