Lovely stay great food just needs outside space to be cleaned up
Pros:

Lovely clean room crisp sheets lovely food

Cons:

Had a balcony with room. Lovely day thought sit on balcony to be greeted by a pile of cigarette butts and the room next door had a glass full which had been there a while as it was full of water. Rooms are great outside space needs serious attention
