Underwhelming Stay
cold showerhanging curtain
The room was, lets say, not great. I was surprised the shower wasn't in it's own little room. Instead, it was right by the door, how thoughtful. Water everywhere, and it was cold. To top it off, nobody seemed to be around to hear my complaints so who cares. the curtain was giving up on life, hanging precariously.

A Truly Nice Stay!!!

The staff were AMAZING and very helpful during my entire stay. The restaurant stood out with delicious food. I appreciated the variety of options. I found the bar area good and reasonably priced. Every aspect contributed to an lovely experience.
The walk to the town centre took approximately twenty-five minutes. A shorter distance would greatly improve the location.
