Free breakfast ends early, food was cold and mediocre. Rooms were big but old and smelled musty. Pool was tiny, looked nice in the picture

In general the stay was fine. The only downside was that the onsite restaurant was not open. On line they said they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maybe it was because it was a Sunday, but they should be more clear about the operating hours.
