So so hotal
Pros:

The restaurant at the hotel. The food was fantastic

Cons:

Staff are very nice- when you can find them. Even the restaurant you have to look for staff. The rooms are a bit old and smell musty. Water is incredibly slow so you can't actually take a nice bath. We don't have a shower in our room. Bar and restaurant closes at 8pm which is very early
