perfect access really good breakfast
The location provided perfect access to the city. The staff members were always kind. Breakfast each morning was really good and they let me bring some to my child who was still asleep..
It felt unprofessional and awkward to witness. The incident was uncomfortable.

handy location sweet note lovely breakfast dirty shower substandard showers arrival deposit
The location was very handy. I could walk to many places. the staff left a sweet note and chocolates since it was our anniversary. breakfast was lovely.
The shower tiles were not clean. They needed some attention. showers near the swimming area weren't up to standard either. i also found that i had to pay a deposit on arrival. It felt a bit much.
