Pros:

Clean hotel, games room, outdoor seating in hot weather, bar area, entertainment, breakfast on second morning

Cons:

The breakfast on first morning was disorganised as we had booked on Booking.com and not through daish so the waitress wasnt aware of what we wanted as the order was different and gave us someone else's breakfast order, but it was rectified. They got us to reorder the breakfast on second morning and it came correctly.
