The location is fantastic. Kitchen was clean, fridge was cold, hot water was hot, cups, plates, cutlery and cleaning supplies were all there, will definitely be back! One improvement could be after hours vending, reception is not attended after 8pm so the snacks and other purchasable products are locked up."
