good rooms and great staff
lovely staff breakfast variety good amenities
the staff are lovely. breakfast has a lot of variety for a reasonable price. rooms are spacious and has good amenities.
no daily housekeeping if you want your room cleaned daily and sheets changed daily, it won't happen. you have to leave your rubbish outside to be collected. we asked for clean towels and where told they'd be brought to our room but weren't. we had to go and collect them.
