Very clean and well presented Faultless
Could do with Sky or more TV channel choice
Great service
Speedway night very noisy although it did finish by 10
Very close to supermarket and Pizza Hutt
I slept like a log at Arena Lodge! Had all the facilities needed (including laundry) plus handy location near supermarket, restaurants and the cinema. Tony was super friendly and helpful, with good tips on things to do in town. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in Palmy.
Very friendly reception and upgraded my room which was much appreciated. Exceptionally clean and lovely to stay in. Nice and close to my daughter where she is flatting (so very convenient) and easy walk to supermarket. Would also be amazing place for if you were watching/participating at sports arena! Thank you very much.
Good service, helpful staff, no street noise, only one fault, the fold down seat in the shower area falls all by itself when in the shower could be painful if hit by it.
This was much nicer than expected. We stayed in a 3 bdrm unit - two couples. It was very roomy, had an excellent kitchen including stove, a backyard BBQ, comfortable bedrooms/beds/bathrooms.
Note that laundry is not in the unit - description on Expedia is a little misleading - but free washer, reasonable price on dryiing.
