The beds for the children were terrible, nothing to stop the pillows falling off the bed and the mattress in to half's kept leaving a gap for the kids to fall in, and one mattress also slipped off on to floor. Cheap toilet paper kept making the toilet back up. Breakfast was good but encountered the most unhelpful staff at the buffet.
