It is a fairly industrial area and an easy half an hour walk into town. The unit is managed by a company and we arrived on a Sunday evening so there wasn't a possibility of having somebody on the ground to assist us with an issue. We had issues with the gate and remote which worked sporadically and often required that we climb over it to gain access. Other than this, it was an excellent stay! ##### Cori W.
