Such a quiet spot given it is right next to the highway. The service was amazing! Such a great place for families because it is so close to the botanic gardens and the playgrounds there.

The water pressure needs improving as shower wasn’t very good in our unit. Unusual set up with one bedside table and not many plugs in the bedroom for each person to plug devices in for charging
