Me, my partner and our 3 kids spent the night here. Room was a 2 bdrm apartment, it was nice, clean and spacious. It has a separate toilet and also has one in the bathroom which is handy when you have lots of people. Kitchen was a bit awkward because the fridge was behind the door and fridge door opened the wrong way. So you would het hit by whoever walks into the kitchen, seating outside our room was very dirty…..
