4/10 (1 review)
"The property was a huge disappointment. No staff around once checked in. Poor parking for cars. No food facilities on site. The room was spacious with an excellent bathroom. No kitchen facilities at all. A serious amount of work needs to go in to make this complex suitable for guests"
