Great location, basic cleanliness was good. Had everything we needed for a one night stay. But look a bit closer and you see that deep clean items like the extractor fan vent, light shade etc. Could do with some cleaning. Could do with a refit, but still good value for money given the close proximity to town and the waterfront.

We had a great stay. The room was clean and provides enough space for 4, without feeling on top of each other. Basically across the road from the lakefront. Nice and quiet. Great pool and spa, the kids loved it. Also only 2 blocks from the city centre.

Perfect location

Lovely staff! The room was exactly as pictured. Clean and comfy in a great location, across the road from the lake and close walk to shops & restaurants. Pool and spa a nice bonus. There is a craft market across the road every Sunday from 9am weather permitting, it was great, Very nice mussel fritters!

Overall was a pretty pleasant stay, liked the fact that we had our own carpark right outside our room. The property is an older property so it does have its flaws. A couple of downsides were that the walls seemed like they were paper thin because we could hear everything coming from the next door neighbours rooms, almost like they were in the same room as us. Which wasn't ideal. The floor of our suite was also super creaky and loud which was a little annoying when staying with multiple in the room and trying to be quiet but I guess that comes with staying at an older property. Our upstairs TV didn't work at all which was disappointing. Location was great and walkable distance into the city centre. I would stay here again.
