We had a nice stay at the Scenic Hotel. Our room was large with a nice window opening onto the pool and garden. It had enough room for some comfortable chairs and a desk and Sky TV was a plus. The hotel is old but has been refurbished and our room was clean. The bathroom was quite small but adequate for what we needed.
