However, the beds are a little hard, fridge took a while to cool down drinks, and I had to use the microwave twice on the same item before it got hot. So, it's really up to what you are looking for."

"We stayed here over parents weekend for close to $400/night. It was not worth $400/night but if we were to stay here for its normal price I would recommend staying here. Staff were very friendly, bed and pillows were comfortable and room was clean."
