"Staff was super friendly and helpful. Location was pretty good at least with a car. We had a small issue where the plumbing was making a whistling sound in our room. I don't think it was happening when we first checked in and the night manager showed up immediately too look into it and somewhat alleviated the problem (I didn't notice it until my wife pointed it out, but it was too loud to ignore once she had without ear plugs). Other than that great stay."

"The room we stayed had an old LED TV with two remotes which took a while to workout how to turn on. Same issue with our neighbor as well except they had smart TV. Definitely need upgrade on their TVs. Tap in bathroom sink had high pressure and sprayed on the clothes every time you turned it on. Most rooms are smaller in size (family). Cleanliness of room is good. Okay for families with kids during winter."

"Was a good spacious place, but heat pumps were a bit odd, they went from blasting extremely hot air into blasting cold, was very annoying, so we had them off during the night even though we were there during winter. For us overall it was ok as we only stayed 1 night, a bit pricey for what it is but we didn’t have many options."
