Could be fantastic but old and dates now. Quiet location, nice pool area but freezing cold. Rooms, hallway tired. Breakfast basic but standard selection Again a little money spent could make this great. Rooms upstairs loud if you are on the ground floor I was woken at 4am and 6am. A gym would be great too

Friendly & Helpful. But I think they should be doing the renovation like the bath vanity. The house keeping can improve the service like checking the bottle of shampoo & bath soap both are empty when I’m starting the shower. Can you imagine!!
