underwhelming stay

the STAFF were friendly and the location provided easy access to local attractions.

the restaurant menu was limited due to a freezer fault, so options were quite restricted.. it certainly affected the dining experience.

The room was spacious. I found the bed and pillows very comfortable, with nice towels (they felt high quality). The water pressure in the shower was really GOOD. Plenty of storage was available for clothes and belongings.

The lock on the room door was broken, so it felt less secure.
