Easy parking. Easy check in. Large family room. Good price. Big fridge. Was a last minute booking, I'd return if needed. The bathroom window let in alot of light. And curtains weren't dark enough. I get concerned about dusty curtains also blinds would be better.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and it was quiet so I had a good nights sleep. A couple of annoying things happened, the inside door handle fell off the first time I closed the door and was just sitting on the fitting thereafter and the toilet blocked after the first use even though minimal toilet paper was used. As I was only there for one night I wasn't overly bothered about these two inconveniences, but I would have been if my stay was longer.

Very basic and outdated, that being said if you are looking for a place to lay your head then it's fine. Pool area looks like it needs a lot of maintenance but it's functional as is everything in the room Bathroom facilities are outdated and the beds, are extremely soft in fact to soft.
