Parking was easy and secure. Location was good. The facilities were minimal and furnishings aged. The lighting was not good with kitchen, dining and lounge lights all on one switch. All on, or none.

Have stayed here on a few occasions, and have always had a great experience - however this time the room I was given (#16, which ironically has been the same room on at least 2 previous occasions) was riddled with small flying insects, No idea how they got in, (the door was only opened to enter and exit, not left open and the windows were all shut) but there were everywhere and attracted to the lights. There were hundreds and hundreds of them and the only way I could keep them out of the living area was to turn off all the lights and just leave the bathroom light on all night.. Otherwise, Comfy bed as always, AWESOME WiFi speeds 400+ Upload and 800+ Download), Good shower water pressure ( although shower head was very loose and leaked badly, but I repaired it with a spanner - Good as new.. Good sized towels too which makes a HUGE difference...

Disliked: Amenities
This is a motel, not a hotel. The photos on the property's listing don't accurately represent the actual property. It is generally clean but I found a couple of long hairs in my bed, and the grout on the shower floor is dirty or discolored, and the shelf in the bathroom was loose, causing items to slide off. The air conditioning unit smells when first switched on. I won't stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The apartment was good size and space ! Great for the most part , let’s it’s self down in the details , electricians nightmare , light on the stairs timer non functional , light never goes out ! Lights in the kitchen , living room , dinning room are all on one switch , are a horrible color ( 5000k ) and you could do surgery by them but you can’t watch tv while someone is cooking ! The tv is out of the ark , I think it’s a plasma . The apt I was in 118 has a problem with outside security lighting , needs true blackout curtains because you can’t block the outside lighting , the apartment section of the complex has no amenities. Generally it’s good just lacks the touches 2.5 stars
