Property is right next to a busy roundabout so there's the constant noise of cars and trucks accellerating and decellerating. Traffic is a bit less during the night. Units are not soundproofed and the furnishings are a bit dated. On the whole this property is ok for 1 night.

This was a lovely place to stay. The rooms were neat and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that disappointed me was that there was a stove/oven in the photo that I saw and I brought provisions for our meal accordingly. When we arrived, the room we were given had only a microwave and I had to go and pay for different food. This may have been my lack of attention to detail when I booked, but it did frustrate me. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay and the staff were friendly and helpful.
