The room was nice and quiet and we loved that the day we used the pool and hot tub no one was there so we were able to enjoy ourselves. Also the fact that the pool was heated was so nice! The staff was very friendly, would definitely stay there again.

The bar by the hotel plays music extremly loud and late...was impossible to go to sleep...the floors are very thin so the people above me were really loud when walking...you can hear everything in the hall corridor because the walls are so thin...the continental breakfast served rubbery eggs....overall would not stay again...for the price I expected more.
