Was ok. A bit over priced for what you get.
Pros:

Staff were lovely

Cons:

Very basic. More motel than hotel I would say. You could also smell the sulphur in the room at times. Bathroom wasn’t very nice.

Pros:

Great staff at reception for check in.

Cons:

The bathroom is older so a shower over the bath that was tricky for me with a knee injury. There was a grab rail and a non slip mat but still awkward.

Not what a 4 star standard should be.
Pros:

Staff were good, and location is nice.

Cons:

Hotel is old building and torn out corners and washroom is very basic. Not what you expect from a 4 star. Also the cleaning, was bad and room had hairs all around.

we had a wonderful experience!
Pros:

Cleanliness, facilities, and food are all important essentials, but what we really loved about this place was the people who work here. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help, which made our experience extra special.

Cons:

Our only suggestion would be to provide bathrobes in each room, as it’s a bit of a walk from the rooms to the pools. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience!
