Great little hideaway and location. Feels safe despite the casino which stays open late. Thought it a bit pricy for the location.

Rajahna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel
The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. It is very secure as you require a entry code to enter the area where the rooms are. The food in the restaurant was excellent. There is also a sports bar and casino in the complex. There is a shopping center nearby but only a few other places to dine in the area.
Terry, 3-night trip

Really nice and clean room. Free breakfast packs given. Room’s are behind security gate.
Kirsty, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were friendly. However, no phone in the room, no tissues, no wash cloth, issues with wifi, breakfast was hit and miss, front desk was only open from 7.30 until 5.00
Dale, 8-night trip

The smell of the carpet. Reminded me of stale beer. Very off-putting.
