Will not stay here again!!
Stayed in the Apex for 5 nights with my daughter, the receptionist said he was giving us a room at the back because be less noise, he forgot to mention the construction that was going on in the hotel at the time & each morning just outside our window as we were at ground level from 8am there was work men making alot of noise . We had to keep curtains closed througout the day as they could see into our room. The room very small for a twin room. There is no hotel bar or restaurant. Restaurant is open for breakfast though. While the receptionists are not unpleasant they are not welcoming & when we checked out the gentleman on the reception did not ask if we had a good stay ,not even a thank you.
