We kind of knew this would be a budget option but we didn't expect that there would be underfloor heating and it had everything we needed for our brief overnight stay. Would we stay again? Definitely! So easy and just the right amount of stuff to make you feel very comfortable.

The unit was spacious and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, and I was happy with everything for the price I paid for our stay. The only real downside was that the soundproofing between the units is not good.

This is the third time we have stayed here, and we will keep coming back as it is always spotlessly clean, and so quiet. The beds are extremely comfortable, and the staff always willing to answer any questions.
