I arrived early, before two o'clock. The staff said they would call when the room was ready. I checked back at one o'clock, and the room was not ready. Finally, at 2 p.m., I went to the desk, and they had several room keys to hand out, and the room had been ready for a while. Also, parking was part of the price, but the staff only valued it until check-out time. Previously, they would give me at least one hour to get lunch before leaving.

Small pokey room, a tiny port hole window so very limited natural light and no curtain to cover the window for privacy. Also no longer serves breakfast, unlikely to stay again.

The beds were amazing! So comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, but make sure to preorder to save money. I loved that we also got a free drink each. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It would be great if the pool was heated or there was a spa/ hot tub as well.
