4/10 Fair

Just enough to survive.

Good location. Property is a bit tired, heating is based on heatpumps and ours was extremely noisy and didn't heat enough the room. Bed is very hard (even for a Chinese) and some dishes were dirty.

Noretta, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very nice room and stay but the standard rooms are very small
Kimberley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice views, but that's about it

We tried to check in an hour after the earliest check-in time and our room still was not ready. So we could not actually check in until after 4pm. The room itself was tidy, but with the living upstairs and bedroom downstairs, we had to walk very carefully after our daughter went to bed, because the floor creaked a bit. We could hear our neighbours quite clearly at night, so there was not much sound proofing. Bathroom was small and cramped. The upstairs living space was big and the view was amazing - I guess that is what we were paying for here because the rest of the place was like any average 3 star motel.
Steven W, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good
