    “Room was neat / clean Confusing with where we were as it is a large accommodation house .Difficult with parking not near to our room as we were 3 people with cases , that needed to find our room late in the evening . All the floors look the same , maybe consider better signage and change of colour for each floor”

  • Centrally located, comfortable rooms and a decent breakfast.
