It was located close to the facilities we needed and there was free parking. It was also helpful to have a fridge, toaster, kettle, crockery and cutlery.

We had to wash dishes etc in the bathroom basin which was awkward.

The location was ideal but not worth to spend money on it, first night we had a couple arguments about 1.30 am it was 10 minutes arguing, woke up my kids.

The stairs, the swimming pool was bad, the rubbish near the pool full of garbage. You have to make sure all the dishes must be cleaned before you check up.
