The staff was helpful when the tv did not work properly. The place was adequate but not really first class. It was clean though and the bed was fairly comfortable.The kitchen area was fairly well supplied.

Older property but interior was clean and functional. The exterior is need of an update.
Only concern was we couldn't open any of the windows to get some fresh air. No air conditioning so likely would be quite hot on a warmer day.
A bit pricey but nice to have a kitchen and sitting area.

It was quite a large suite and extremely well located. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Exterior needs a paint job, but I can live with that. Bring a sharp knife if you're going to use the kitchen!
