Basic and affordable.

Liked: The location was great. Front desk staff was helpful and nice. Very affordable and family friendly. Property had all basic amenities needed. Pool and spa were lovely and quiet. Secure parking including at no additional cost. Apartment was basic but fulfilled our needs. Would consider staying again but housekeeping definitely needs improving.
Disliked: Cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The room looked like it had not been cleaned properly in a long time. Food still in freezer from previous guests along with a few left over belongings and items in the room, dirty dishes in the cupboard, towels from previous guests still in bathroom stuffed in the cupboard under the sink, no mattress or pillow protectors on the bed, pillows stained and old as was the only mattress protector supplied on the sofa bed, only one small blanket supplied for 4 guests utilising the double bed and sofa bed. Very dusty. Rooms could do with a bit of TLC and updating.
