Staff were fine. Essentially, the place was clean and bed was good. Reasonable for the price. However, the room very tired and smelt a little. Bird poos on the exterior kitchen window ledge.

Room was suitable. Good facilities to be self sufficient. Has a fan and no air conditioner. We booked because it had a pool. It closed at 5pm and we could not use it. It was also supposed to be open at 9am but it was not open when we left at 10am.

We booked a room for 4 people; 2 adults and 2 children. We were aware this meant 1 queen bed, 1 single, and 1 pull out couch. But the pull out couch didn't fit in the room, so our daughter slept on the couch as it was. Therefore, this is definitely not a 4 person room. Otherwise the location was perfect, property clean, and the room had everything we needed (other than the right amount of beds that fit in the room!).

The staff member was helpful, helping us set up the sofa bed and provided sheets. We were told there were blankets in the closet. There wasn't. Lots of things that need repair. Power socket hanging off the wall. Shower door didn't stop water from spraying all over the floor in the bathroom. I would not recommend for a family to stay here.
