Location is fabulous. Shame about the sofa bed that we needed. It was held up underneath with a piece of MDF obviously to stop it collapsing when you sat on it. The mattress was ridiculously thin the floor would be more comfortable. The springs squeaked constantly and it sagged in the middle. This was false advertising as this sofa was not fit for human use and I would say dangerous especially if children were using it. It is disrespectful to guests to provide such sub standard furniture, that is advertised as a sleeping and seating option. Rates are not that cheap. I rang up direct for an extra night they quoted $40 more than online options !! Obviously I stayed elsewhere for that extra night.
