Good location, everything I needed. I stayed in a studio near the lifts and it felt a little bit like living in a fish bowl - open for all to see but once I got over that it was fine. Very good value.

This place was in the perfect location for us and had everything we needed (fridge, two separate bedrooms, parking etc), so it was a delight staying here. We met 2 receptionist. Although one of them wasn't friendly, Tracy is awesome!
Do I recommend staying here? I sure do!
Thank you Tracy!

So bad

So dirty the bathroom floor towel turned black on the floor after one shower. Overall not cleaned regularly or close enough to our stay. Window too high to reach and knob broken, so slept in thermals and trackies. Bed like a plank of wood. Place was called Sovereign Views and all we could see was the draughty hallway. Reception not in when we enquired (a few times). Left two nights early

Central for what I wanted it for

Everything was okay. But it would not be a place I would like to stay in during peak times. There are no curtains on the window only blinds, so if you want to open your blind everyone who walks past can see straight into your room and in regards to a bit of privacy then there is none as the bed is right next to the bed.j Also my room was right in front of the lift and stairs. People walking past talking very loudly and during peak times I would find this room and any other rooms extremely annoying.

Overall it was very clean and nice and the husband and wife were a lovely couple,

Reasonable for cost & location

Venue was appropriate for what we needed, an apartment to house 4 adults and 2 kids.
Having said that.....
The approach of management could have been more professional.
We were given a late checkout (a whole 11am instead of 10am) and the person who knocked on our door to ask why we had not vacated (this was at 10.30am) was not only short with us and quick to advise us this was not normal policy (not our problem to be honest considering we had already had this confirmed)
BUT
they also then went on to complain to someone else within our earshot, about the person who approved the late checkout.
Now THAT is unprofessional behaviour, glad I don't work there!
