A really great place to stay especially if you have sporting events at the Mount or Blake Park. Everything is clean, tidy and very comfortable. Check in at reception was easy and you were made to feel right at home with excellent customer service. The location is also safe and handy to eating places which was so handy. We will certainly be back when we have another sporting event up the Mount for sure!
