Liked: Staff & service
The room was clean and tidy everything you need for a short stop over. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Pool was small and ok in terms of maintenance but the water needed topping up and there was a film across the top of the water. It needed the debris removed from floating on the top. Maybe in the summer when more people are using it they could turn on the filtration system throughout the daytime. Overall great place for a quick stopover.
