Room was spotless. One issue was floor very slippery in shower when wet. Did not like parking outside our room 19. Would be a hassle driving in and put if rooms full either side.

Michael

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was very spacious and the bed was in excellent condition. I rate this property as above average except for the parking. We stayed in unit 19 and had to back into the space and was concerned that if anyone stayed in unit 20 then they may hit our car as they backed into their space because of the very limited space. If the garden in front of these units was removed then it would be much easier to park safely.
