Really good stay

helpful staff good pool
The staff were helpful and always greeted us with a smile. The swimming pool was a good bonus, and towels were readily available for use. The room included a fan. This was a blessing during the hot weather. We loved the tea bags.
While the shower worked very well, the door detached from its hinges. A maintenance worker did promptly repair it, I found this occurrence disconcerting.
