Very comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Under cover parking facilities were great and although we didn't use the garden area due to the time of year, am sure it would be a great area in warmer weather. The location was quiet and only a short walk into the main shopping area, coffee shops and eateries. Would definitely like to return at some point.
