Really enjoyed my stay - big, clean & modern room. Bathroom is really nice & bed is comfy. Swirles Court was really quiet and the surrounding area is nice to explore. Super easy to reach via the Universal bus. Big shout out the lovely on-site team, especially Cathy who was super helpful, friendly & welcoming. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely and welcoming place. The room was clean and spacious. The kitchen was convenient - but just be aware that it doesn't have plates/cups/bowls/pots/pans/cutlery - so bring whatever you'd need for your cooking.

Rooms were clean but there were essential things missing such as a glass and ability to make coffee or tea
