5/5 Excellent
"Great staff, fair cost, my only criticism is the antiquated technology in the rooms - the tv, plugs, radio etc, very dated. Also, I would be nice if food and drinks were available more often at the pool, especially on hot days. Still, great value, caring staff and my go to in K Town when I’m visiting "
