the staff was very friendly and helpful. my room was super clean and more than adequate for my stay. i found lots of tea bags and milk, a big plus for me.
The gym was closed due to storm damage. the pool and changing room areas have really went downhill. No shower was available in the women's changing rooms, just a dribble.
