The location was great . The bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on avoid level 2 room 8 . It was as hard as a rock , perhaps reception could have mattress toppers on hand should you need it which would have made all the difference from a good stay to a great stay .

The room wasn’t very clean. The carpet was stained and the wall was dirty. These things could easily be rectified. The door handles were worn. The size of the apartment was good and we enjoyed having two bathrooms for two bedrooms.
