Solid stay

nice sofaadequate lightinghelpful ladyshabby area
The room was large. It had a nice sofa in front of the tv. I found plenty of lamps provided adequate lighting. The young lady at reception was pleasant and helpful (she answered all my questions).
The swimming pool area needs updating. The changing areas looked a bit shabby. I think some refurbishment would greatly improve this part of the hotel.

The restaurant food was delicious, but portions were a bit on the large side. I appreciated the options available at breakfast (especially the sausages!). The bar area was surprisingly large.

The room was really nice and spacious. I loved being able to step right out onto the front patio from the sliding window. It was also nice to have a separate bath and shower.
