Decent for the price

Clean and spacious apartment

We had a one bedroom apartment for a 2 night stay and it was very spacious and clean. Large comfortable bed and ideal to have dryer and washing machine available too. Parking was additional but reasonably priced and we could come and go as often as we wanted (even gave us a more spacious park to accommodate our large vehicle). Check in was easy and the staff is super friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
