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.
