Shower was dirty and the drain was blocked. There was Mould growing in the grout of the shower and the screens were growing with soap scum. The bed was terrible. The mattress was not even flat anymore and was dipping in the middle. Would not stay there again

We loved the parking and location. Nice pool area also. We were very glad there was a spare single bed because there’s no way two of us could have slept in the bouncy castle that was the queen bed. Guys it’s time to update the mattresses, the tv’s (we couldn’t even read the remote buttons) and the shower screens are a disgrace. The room was dark because the only curtain we could open that would still allow privacy was screwed to the walk. Perhaps put up some sheer curtains so that the main drapes can be opened whilst retaining some privacy.

Room was neat and tidy. There was no plugs for either the sink or bathroom basin. Water pressure very weak.
