7/10 Good! (2 reviews)
While the bathrooms and kitchen look quite new and fresh the apartment was a bit dirty and smelly. Many of the walls and furniture were significantly marked, there was rubbish in one of the bins and a pile of what I can only assume was used towels and sheets in the laundry. We had to keep the windows open for our stay to air the place and wash all our clothes after becasue of the lingering smell. The ensuite was a bit smelly, but we could only shower there as there is no seal around the shower screen in the main bath and it floods. The kitchen has basic provisions for cooking although the oven did not work.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (367 reviews)
The highlight of this stay is definitely the staff (shoutout to Precious and C/Katherine). Professional, affable and warm. They ensure we're well accommodated for and settle in easily. Room was spotless, no complains no doubt. 11/10 would try other suites.

Speedwell Cavern
Boy, this will fix me as an historical artifact, but when I was a kid, these things were called Ski-doo's. No doubt because there was a single manufacturer who bore the same name. Jet Ski sounds more generic, and a little more fun, I guess. But, in either case, you're not really skiing at all. Water Hawg is probably a better description, but I doubt it would help anyone sell them. You don't need a big ribbon of water like the Columbia to drop one of these things in and start moving. But, it really seems to help. I'm frankly amazed at all the different craft and equipment that manages to commingle in this part of the river without ending up in a twisted mess. Suffice it to say, if there's some form of water recreation you enjoy
