4/10 Fair

Kitchen NOT clean, hairs in bed, the lodge had a strong odour of incense, terrible.

Average
The kitchen, laundry, dining and lounge shared area is very well appointed and our bed was very comfortable. The shower door in room 7 doesn't slide properly and the hairdryer doesn't work. Auto hall lights activated for no reason through the night and the light was cast into our room around the door jambs. We were kept awake by a very squeaky bed in another room and late arrivals stomping through hallways and using their mobiles.

Good value for the price. Clean and tidy, has a good common area dining, kitchen, rest area. Only issue was finding the property in the dark - the sign was illuminated but hard to see/read. There checking process using text messaging and coded locks was very good.
