Reviews of Glen Inn
David from New Zealand (8/10)
Great unit, lots of surrounding food and shopping at the mall
Henri from Australia (8/10)
Clean and comfortable. Good supply of plates etc. and cutlery. Microwave, toaster and jug. No tea towel, so couldn’t clean the dishes. Next time we’ll book for downstairs. Hated the narrow concrete steps. Otherwise a good place to stay.

Kathryn from Australia (8/10)
Had rung when booked to say I wouldn't get in until after 9pm and was assured that was fine as office open until 10pm. No one at office when arrived. Needed to ring a number to get check in coded. Room code given didn't work and had to ring for another. 2nd code worked. Everything was fine but frustrating method especially after a long drive and phoning earlier.
Other than this, property was in good location for my needs and purpose and provided a good base fir my training weekend.Eugene from India (8/10)

I’ve stayed here before and am pleased to have come back. The lady on reception is absolutely lovely, and very helpful when it came to public transport suggestions. And it’s a short walk to a shopping centre.
