Nadine

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very clean but the shower had an ingrained floor, a broken tile on the shower step and broken grouting around skirting. The steam room hinges were so rusty that I was surprised they still held the door on and the jacuzzi was mostly peeled paint would not have liked to use it. The childrens play area consisted of one very worn swing and a dilapitated play shoe. The games had one worn pool table. This was for the use of 50 rooms. This hotel needs refurbishing in a lot of areas and a lot of maintenance issues to be resolved. The one redeeming factor was the breakfasts this was exceptional and the waiter/ess were so polite and accommodating. Would i stay here again, DEFINITELY NOT!
