This unit had a king bed in the lounge which made it awkward to watch tv - thete was no couch. The room was not serviced & when we asked for a service were told it would be done. We went for a walk & on our return the room eas still not serviced. The manager said she serviced the room next door.

Clean room, great area - with the gardens very close by. Loved the beautiful spa bath too. Easy parking too. I didn’t realise though that I would have to haul my heavy suitcase up 2 flights of stairs and it is the first time I have ever seen a sign in the kitchen stating that you will be charged a $50 fine if you don’t wash your dish. I always do my dishes but I would hate to think about how “some” guests washing habits are. Was a little bit off-putting to see that… felt quite unfriendly.
