Booked in advance expected better .Location location location
Pros:

Left early for a prior engagement so didnt have breakfast there

Cons:

The room was dungy as it was situated almost under a flight of stairs. Should have asked for a better room but accepted we were only there for a short time.The carpets looked like they could do with a good clean. There was no cutlery or plates if you wanted to just relax and stay indoors .
Simply the room was too small for 3 adults
