Room was fine. Bathroom dated and seals in shower needed replacement. Beds were very comfortable with immaculate sheets and the towels were also sparklingly clean. However the walls are very thin. We were woken in the early hours by one neighbor and at 6 30 by another one.we have stayed on 3 occasions but I don't think we would stay again
