Rooms were spacious. Heating wasn't the best, however it was cold the weekend we stayed. Ideal if you have teenage kids and want separate rooms.

Conveniently located and the bathroom has been renovated recently. Unfortunately there appeared to be a smokers section just outside our room which was offputting. Last time (pre-Covid) we had a family room and it was really well appointed. This stay we had to ask for a plug so that we could wash our dishes and a teaspoon for our coffees as we only had dessert spoons provided.

It was ok but a very important thing. As soon as you arrive you like a cup of tea/coffee. No milk in fridge.

One of the caretakers stays in unit 24 and is in and out banging the doors all night and he had the vacuum cleaner on at 11:30pm as well as drilling something in his room around 11:45pm. Very difficult to sleep there.

Le studio que nous avions était confortable. Bien pour un séjour d'une nuit. Nous n'avons pas eu le code WiFi à notre arrivée certainement un oubli de la réceptionniste. La clim ne fonctionnait pas bien que la télécommande avait l'air de fonctionnemer... La réception étant a horaire limitée, nous n'avons pu résoudre ses 2 problèmes...

Room smelt of strong cigarette odour and rooms clearly non smoking. A lot of people smoking out front of rooms and outdoor ashtrays not emptied. Had to request a room change after a bad nights stay.

One night stay Oct. 2024. Property is on the main road, but far enough back that it's not noisy. Our room was huge - it included a second bedroom which slept 4 more! We didn't need that. Good kitchen. We bought food from the grocery store (1.5 km away) and cooked our own supper. The 'downtown' is about 1.5km. in the other direction, if you're looking for restaurants. Good accomodation. Recommended.

La struttura si trova sulla strada principale, parcheggio riservato di fronte alla stanza. Bagno nuovo, ristrutturato di recente, ma il resto dell'appartamento vecchio, rovinato e sporco. Appartamento molto grande con due camere da letto (5 posti letto), cucinotto con fuochi e soggiorno. Appartamento da rinnovare decisamente e migliorare nettamente la pulizia. I pensili della cucina erano sporchi, la moquette era sporca, il pavimento era appiccicoso, c'era cattivo odore. Buono il wifi e aria condizionata anche calda. Sconsigliato.
