"The unit was very good. Large, well appointed and had all toiletries & small items you would want. It was a lovely unit, although, the shower had a large gap where door opened which resulted in having a bit of water discharge onto floor. The greeting staff was quite nice and knowledgeable. In short, would recommend in a heartbeat."
