We enjoyed a lovely large one bedroom suite, with all the amenities we needed. Very clean and a convenient location during the busy summer season. Our two main issues were that we arrived later in the afternoon and after talking up the pool to the kids after a long day of driving, we had a quick dinner and then were excited for a short dip in the pool. However the staff closed the pool 30 mins before the stated pool closure time - despite it being a warm summer evening. Our kids were very disappointed and it left a bit of a sour taste. The parking situation is also very odd. There are seemingly plenty of car parks available, they are not allocated to rooms, but almost a third of them seem to be marked bays or have parking cones placed over them. So you have to fight to find a spot if you arrive after 7pm, even if there are loads of “available” spaces. Very odd. Also the tv in the rooms are outdated and font have any access to streaming services and have been manually volume limited, which meant that if you were cooking or had your windows open you couldn’t hear the tv from the couch. Another odd thing. Other than those things, the room itself was lovely and quite convenient to town. We walked in a couple of times for dinner - only an easy 15 min stroll. Not sure I would stay again though.

Nice, clean rooms with a kitchen that we used to make instant noodles in. The bathroom is modern. We had breakfast at the restaurant twice. Close to the city center and other eateries. We also did laundry here.
