Plussat: Location

Miinukset: We had an argument with owner about the room. We booked and paid for a room with a view of the bay. Our confirmation stated "sea view". They put us in room 7 which has no views. We showed them our booking.com confirmation which stated "view". He said it was booking.coms fault and mooved us to unit 15 with the view but tried to charge us extra which we refused.Room was cold and smelt of musty cleaners.Overall very dissapointed.

Plussat: Close to my work

Plussat: Location of our room was nice and far from traffic and our parking wasn't in the way of any other guests. Once place was heating it was nice and warm. Wifi connection was great.

Miinukset: Customer service could have been better. We stayed here 10 years ago and thought Id recommend to our other families and they booked. After being shown to our room man walks off shaking his head thinking we had more people than the numbers we mentioned at reception! Our extended families all stayed there!

Bill made sure the portacot was ready to go when we arrived and had put heater on in advance so it was nice and warm as well as help me get all my things upstairs. He also allowed for me to settle my son and feed him and get him to sleep before paying.
