It was fine. There was a dirty diaper in our garbage when we arrived.
Pros:

Comfortable and spacious for our family of 5

Cons:

The waterslide was closed and that is why we picked this hotel to stay at with our children. We were not informed that it was closed and surprised when we arrived.

Pros:

Good hotel and location

Cons:

We booked this hotel as had previously stayed there 2 years ago and was very disappointed that the pool was closed whilst there as we had used it before and this was one of the reasons we had rebooked.

Staff was not overly friendly. Beds were clean but room could have been cleaner - floor, rug & walls need a good clean.
