10/10 Exceptional

I liked how they were pet friendly and except for some common instructions there was no dramas. Even having a pet friendly room , it was still so neat. Sofa bed was a bit dirty when we opened it up but we didnt use it. Otherwise overall, we loved the place. A bit of cleaning would help but not a major issue. Friendly custimer service.

Room was very dirty and shower was not working, we were expected to use a shower several units down. We found alternative accommodation for the night.

The room was very spacious and clean. The parking is a bit tight, but with a smaller vehicle it was really not an issue to get in and out.
