    We had a wonderful stay at 80 Ridgeton Towers. Our host Ushir and the rest of the staff were not only pleasant but completely professional and efficient, always checking in and guaranteeing that we were comfortable. The unit is beautifully decorated, fully fitted with the best appliances (returned home with all clean laundry 😁) and clean. The pool (and baby pool) proved to be loads of fun for our kids. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for the great service!
