Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Clean and spacious room. Comfortable bed with nice crisp sheets. Well equipped with kitchenette amenities. Ample and easy parking. Overnight Traffic noise from adjacent highway was disruptive as room was immediately beside the highway. A room further into the complex would likely have mitigated the noise. Wifi weakened as evening progressed to point of becoming unusable in a practical sense. Overall the stay was ok for an overnight and is worthwhile consideration

The bed was not overly good. It was like trying to sleep on jelly. Every time my wife moved, I felt it, and vice versa. Advertisements said they had Sky of which they had 2 channels and no dedicated box to view more.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Parking was really good, a small playground was fun, little balcony was convenient, but it was so cold in the rooms, there was only one AC no other heaters, even though there was electric blanket it was still really cold, also not much hot water for shower, only one roll of toilet paper kept in there so we ran out of it and used our own tissues, the whole place smells a bit might need some air fresheners.

No double glazing in the units to cut down the road noise which is only metres from the unit we stayed in. We would have liked to of watched sky TV but both the evening and morning after advertise that the sky was not available due to atmospheric conditions which I seriously doubt. There was only one coffee sachet provided and it would’ve been nice to have a cuppa coffee at night and one the next morning. The hot water pressure was minimal and not sufficient to have a comfortable shower.
