Oxley Court Serviced Apartments
Room was lovely and quiet. The 2 star rating was only given as I had to call three times about late check-in details. Even after completing the online check in I still didn’t receive my code. It wasn’t until the 3rd call on the day of check in that I received the after hours details.
