There was a distinct lack of mirrors. Apart from the bathroom there was only one small mirror in the kitchen area hung so hi we couldn't look into it. Not ideal when there are 4 people trying to get ready for a function. Not a huge issue but also an easy fix. Also the property is definitely showing its age. But it is still a place I would stay at again. Great location.

We had a HUGE 2 bedroom suite. It had everything we needed including an air fryer, which was a nice surprise. Our bed was comfy, so was the couch. The best part was definitely the staff, they were all great!
