Gerry from Canada (9/10)
Ease of use. No real check in process. As a repeat customer, I now know that we can go directly to our room without having to check-in.
Georgia from Canada (9/10)
A very comfortable apartment, great staff and can’t beat the location! We had a few issues with the heating system being a bit erratic and the staff was quick to help us. Otherwise our stay was fantastic – easy instructions to enter the building and apartment, a small but well stocked kitchen, a comfortable hide a bed, nice decor, and two bathrooms was a definite plus with four adults staying! A wonderful place to stay, would definitely stay again in the future! Many thanks!
