The main person in reception was friendly and did her best, but she seemed very inexperienced and provided what seemed like scripted, non-accommodating answers to some, what I would consider, very basic and common requests. I believe she was sincerely trying to do her best, but the lack of experience was evident. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Hillary 20 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Decent place - pool was great.
