Pros:

My mother has limited mobility, and they provided us with a room on the ground floor with a suitable bathroom. The staff was very friendly and really helpful. We were staying for one night and it was perfect for our needs.

Cons:

The room was very warm, and there was no air conditioning. We did find a fan, which was helpful.

“Great service from the team, but cleanliness needs more attention.
Pros:

I must say the manager Sean was brilliant . Such a pleasant man, best person to work at the front desk.The ladies working in the breakfast restaurant were nice too.

Cons:

*Dusty table fan provided.

*Next door people made so much noise in the middle of the night and could be heard in our room the 2 days that we stayed. Noises about them talking and laughing loud could be heard in the toilet as well, which made the stay some bit unpleasant
