Loved our overnight stay. Small pool but it was clean and perfect for our 8 year old and right across from our room. Bedside lamps didn’t work but didn’t bother us. Friendly reception. Would definitely stay again.

Dated and poor value for money
This place does not deserve the high rating - or the high price ($276/night). It’s very dated and feels dodgy. The towel rack in the bathroom fell off as soon as we hung our towel on it as it was only taped to the wall. The only upside was the service - the lady in the reception was excellent as she arranged for us to check in after hours. Overall wouldn’t recommend 1/10.
