Location was perfect. Easy quick check in, room was clean, comfortable soft bed, the bathroom was old with stained bath and basin, floor tiles were dated and found hair from previous guests. Used the heated pool at night, it wasn’t that clean, a greasy layer was floating on top of the pool. In my opinion the hotel deserves a 3* however the buffet breakfast was very poor. Too many guests for the amount of food served. I literally couldn’t find any eggs, also no pastries, most of the plates were empty and for a long time. People were looking for places to sit. It was 8am on a Saturday the restaurant was full. Will I visit again maybe but for sure I won’t purchase breakfast included.

Staff were courteous and faculties are kept clean though a bit dated. We appreciated having beds made every day and all supplies topped up as needed. The room could use an update to smart TVs. Buffet breakfast spread was decent but the dinner a la carte menu was overpriced for the choices and portions. We were unfortunate to have a very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours so we barely slept last two nights with their yelling at each other, kids screaming and doors slamming well past 2am. The hotel security promptly addressed them after we reported the issue to the hotel reception on the second night which helped a bit. All staff were lovely and attentive.

The location and parking was fantastic however unfortunately it was missed on our booking that my 2 year old was travelling with us, I had asked for a room with a fold out bed which it had, however housekeeping hadn’t set it up and no spare sheets were in the room, by the time we got to our room at 9pm it was too late to have someone come up as my toddler was all but asleep. Air conditioning also needs attention, granted it was the middle of a heat wave however the room stayed hot and stuffy all night making sleep very difficult and uncomfortable. For the price I don’t know if the stay was worth it
