GGuest UserWent to a live band concert (Dreams by Fleetwood Mac) and decided to book at the venue. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the room. Very clean and tidy in presentation. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and there were extra blankets and bedding, in the room so we did not have to ask for anything. The units were very secure and would totally stay there again.

GGuest UserReally amazing stay, enjoyed using the facilities (especially the gym! The only thing about the gym is that for the weight section there isn’t any type of mirror to see yourself, but overall was amazing). Also, loved the tv, and being able to look up and listen to our own type of stuff, really cool. Would definitely come here again, no doubt! Thank you Palmer!
