Good place to stay with family , thought place was better than what could make up from website when booked. Enjoyed staying overnight with family. 4 stars because couple of things -Body Wash in bathroom dispenser was not working and plumbing was jamming a bit in sink- however did not bother so decided not to escalate to staff.

Toilet seat broken, wash basin stained and dirty, Ants all over lounge/kitchen floor, No desk area in living space, connections on wall suggested there had been one under TV. Room was spartan and basic. One small shelf for suitcase, very few surfaces to put your luggage etc on. Have stayed in the past, but not again.
