8/10 Very Good! (742 reviews)

Although most of the staff have been helpful some staff come across as they don’t want to be there and are very unwilling to help not very friendly which dampens the mood when you need them for certain things. The location on the main road is odd and can be noisy in the weekends with partygoers and car racers but overall not bad. The kitchen is very small and all the taps water pressure is odd sprays everywhere. But still a nice place for a stay

10/10 Exceptional! (10 reviews)

Staff were so nice- especially Anna! All staff were so accommodating and helped us with whatever we needed. Beautiful place to stay at. Personally wouldn’t recommend over 3 or 4 nights in colder weather as it does get a little hard to figure out plans.
