Staff are very friendly. I visited in the shoulder season, so a lot of things are closed but I got to do what I wanted. I will have to come back during high season to catch the things I missed….. the cleaning staff could use a bottle of spray Javex around the corner if the shower…. It didn’t bother me because I clean my own house and I know it’s caused from dampness and this summer has been nothing but damp 😊

The staff were wonderful and helpful, very personable. The room itself was older and "well used" but clean with a good mattress and basic amenities. I would stay again if I was in the area.
