Crystalbrook Bailey
Highly recommend Crystalbrook Bailey for it’s convenient location, cleanliness and great customer service. Only downside would be the pool which is located in the restaurant and is quite small, the other pool is located in the residential building nextdoor to the hotel so is abit of a walk away.
